Collaborative Copy Exactly Automated Databased and Application Web Audit Tool
Global IT supports team setup to support business continuity in INTEL Manufacturing environment, Copy Exactly (CE!) is very important to make ease of operation and support to achieve system up time agreed in Services Level Agreement(SLA). CE! means duplicate over the IT configuration items from one site to all of the sites. It covers Chengdu, Costa Rica, Kulim, Penang and Arizona site which doing chips and CPU manufacturing. This article is about what has to be done to achieve a specific and measurable Database and Application CE! quality standard: it isn't about using any estimated costly project management tool. Instead, it is an own development with CE!
automated web capability tool that able to scan over all supported servers and provide a CE! audit reports in all of the sites at Intel Organization. With implementing the CE! Automated report will lead the global configuration management implementation and continuous improvement participates in designing Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) Configuration Management
Implementation process. It also drive continues improvement within the area of responsibility to ensure cost efficient, timely and effective services. The CE! will ensure all Configuration Items (CIs) setup with following IT standard define in INTEL manufacturing. Configuration Items (CIs) are referring to the fundamental structural unit of a configuration management system. Examples of CIS include
individual requirements documents, software, model, plan and people
Component-aware Orchestration of Cloud-based Enterprise Applications, from TOSCA to Docker and Kubernetes
Enterprise IT is currently facing the challenge of coordinating the
management of complex, multi-component applications across heterogeneous cloud
platforms. Containers and container orchestrators provide a valuable solution
to deploy multi-component applications over cloud platforms, by coupling the
lifecycle of each application component to that of its hosting container. We
hereby propose a solution for going beyond such a coupling, based on the OASIS
standard TOSCA and on Docker. We indeed propose a novel approach for deploying
multi-component applications on top of existing container orchestrators, which
allows to manage each component independently from the container used to run
it. We also present prototype tools implementing our approach, and we show how
we effectively exploited them to carry out a concrete case study

Software test automation : a design and tool selection approach for a heterogeneous environment
textThis report describes a design approach for implementing a software test automation solution that can accommodate existing test processes in an organization. The process of implementing a software test automation solution is a large undertaking and requires careful planning to avoid unsuccessful implementations. This report outlines a design that can integrate with existing business and development processes in an organization, and recommends automation and development frameworks for achieving the test automation goals.
Considerations for a heterogeneous test environment with varying types of supported operating systems, such as Windows and Linux, and multiple test execution environments, such as Java and .NET, have been made in this design and in the tool selections for the system implementation. The report also describes some of the challenges and caveats of automation in a heterogeneous environment along with recommended solutions to these challenges.Electrical and Computer Engineerin
Managing a Fleet of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) using Cloud Robotics Platform
In this paper, we provide details of implementing a system for managing a
fleet of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) operating in a factory or a warehouse
premise. While the robots are themselves autonomous in its motion and obstacle
avoidance capability, the target destination for each robot is provided by a
global planner. The global planner and the ground vehicles (robots) constitute
a multi agent system (MAS) which communicate with each other over a wireless
network. Three different approaches are explored for implementation. The first
two approaches make use of the distributed computing based Networked Robotics
architecture and communication framework of Robot Operating System (ROS) itself
while the third approach uses Rapyuta Cloud Robotics framework for this
implementation. The comparative performance of these approaches are analyzed
through simulation as well as real world experiment with actual robots. These
analyses provide an in-depth understanding of the inner working of the Cloud
Robotics Platform in contrast to the usual ROS framework. The insight gained
through this exercise will be valuable for students as well as practicing
engineers interested in implementing similar systems else where. In the
process, we also identify few critical limitations of the current Rapyuta
platform and provide suggestions to overcome them.Comment: 14 pages, 15 figures, journal pape
Technical Report on Deploying a highly secured OpenStack Cloud Infrastructure using BradStack as a Case Study
Cloud computing has emerged as a popular paradigm and an attractive model for
providing a reliable distributed computing model.it is increasing attracting
huge attention both in academic research and industrial initiatives. Cloud
deployments are paramount for institution and organizations of all scales. The
availability of a flexible, free open source cloud platform designed with no
propriety software and the ability of its integration with legacy systems and
third-party applications are fundamental. Open stack is a free and opensource
software released under the terms of Apache license with a fragmented and
distributed architecture making it highly flexible. This project was initiated
and aimed at designing a secured cloud infrastructure called BradStack, which
is built on OpenStack in the Computing Laboratory at the University of
Bradford. In this report, we present and discuss the steps required in
deploying a secured BradStack Multi-node cloud infrastructure and conducting
Penetration testing on OpenStack Services to validate the effectiveness of the
security controls on the BradStack platform. This report serves as a practical
guideline, focusing on security and practical infrastructure related issues. It
also serves as a reference for institutions looking at the possibilities of
implementing a secured cloud solution.Comment: 38 pages, 19 figures
Model-Based GN and C Simulation and Flight Software Development for Orion Missions beyond LEO
For Orion missions beyond low Earth orbit (LEO),
the Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) system is
being developed using a model-based approach for simulation
and flight software. Lessons learned from the development of
GN&C algorithms and flight software for the Orion
Exploration Flight Test One (EFT-1) vehicle have been applied
to the development of further capabilities for Orion GN&C
beyond EFT-1. Continuing the use of a Model-Based
Development (MBD) approach with the Matlab/Simulink
tool suite, the process for GN&C development and analysis has
been largely improved. Furthermore, a model-based
simulation environment in Simulink, rather than an external
C-based simulation, greatly eases the process for development
of flight algorithms. The benefits seen by employing lessons
learned from EFT-1 are described, as well as the approach for
implementing additional MBD techniques. Also detailed are
the key enablers for improvements to the MBD process,
including enhanced configuration management techniques for
model-based software systems, automated code and artifact
generation, and automated testing and integration

The research reported in this paper aims to get a better\ud
understanding of how the implementation process of\ud
enterprise systems (ES) can be managed, by studying the\ud
process from an organisational perspective. A review of\ud
the literature on previous research in ES implementation\ud
has been carried out and the state of the art of ES\ud
implementation research is defined. Using several body of\ud
literature, an organisational view on ES implementation is\ud
described, explaining that ES implementation involves\ud
challenges from triple domain, namely technological\ud
challenge, business process related challenge, and\ud
organisational challenge. Based on the defined state of the\ud
art and the organisational view on ES implementation\ud
developed in this research, a research framework is\ud
presented, addressing the project as well as the postproject\ud
stage, and a number of essential issues within the\ud
stages. System alignment, knowledge acquisition, change\ud
mobilisation are the essntial issues to be studied in the\ud
project stage while institutionalisation effort and\ud
continuous improvement facilitation are to be studied in\ud
the post-project stage. Case studies in Indonesian\ud
