Elastic Computing - a novel paradigm for distributed systems

This talk, which is based on our newest findings and experiences from research and industrial projects, addresses one of the most relevant challenges for a decade to come: How to integrate the Internet of Things with software, people, and processes, considering modern Cloud Computing and Elasticity principles. Elasticity is seen as one of the main characteristics of Cloud Computing today. Is elasticity simply scalability on steroids? This talk addresses the main principles of elasticity, presents a fresh look at this problem, and examines how to integrate people, software services, and things into one composite system, which can be modeled, programmed, and deployed on a large scale in an elastic way. This novel paradigm has major consequences on how we view, build, design, and deploy ultra-large scale distributed systems.Universidad de Málaga, Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucia Tec

Cyber-Human Partnerships – Towards a resilient ecosystem in Smart Cities

In this talk I will explore one of the most relevant challenges for a decade to come: How to integrate the Internet of Things with software, people, and processes, considering modern Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) with Big Data. I will present a fresh look at this problem, and examine how to integrate people, software services, and things with their data, into one novel resilient ecosystem, which can be modeled, programmed, and deployed on a large scale in an elastic way. This novel paradigm has major consequences on how we view, build, design, and deploy ultra-large scale distributed systems and establishes a novel foundation for an “architecure of value” driven Smart City.Universidad de Málaga.

Critical Issues using MB one-Videoconferencing on the Internet

Desktop videoconferencing software tools are of paramount importance to collaborative cooperation in emerging virtual organizations and to teleworking in general. This paper discusses critical issues in communication and collaboration using desktop videoconferencing tools. We then suggest to videoconferencing software builders some actual software mechanisms that could implement these policies. Finally, we present some guidelines for conduct to people who will be involved in desktop videoconferences as participants
