Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services, GECON 2017, held in Biarritz, France, in September 2017. The 10 full papers and 10 short papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. This volume of the GECON 2017 proceedings has been structured in sections following the sessions that comprised the conference program: Pricing in Cloud and Quality of Service, Work in Progress on Service Management, Work in Progress on Business models and Community Cooperation, Work in Progress on Energy Efficiency and Resource Management, Resource Management, Edge Computing, Cloud Federation; and Work in Progress on Service Selection and Coordination.
The Commons
'The Commons' explores the many forms of development being championed by Africa's residents, users, and citizens. In addition to managing property and shared tangible and intangible resources collectively, communities are experimenting with a concept of 'commoning' founded on values such as community, engagement, reciprocity, and trust. In practice, their approach takes the form of land-based commons, housing cooperatives, hybrid cultural spaces or places for innovation, and collaborative digital platforms. The purpose of this book, where observation of historical and recent practices converges with new theories within commons scholarship, is not to promote commons themselves. Rather, it examines the tensions, drivers of change, and opportunities that surround commons dynamics in Africa. This book highlights the abundance of commons-based entrepreneurial processes in Sub-Saharan Africa and shows that partnerships between African public authorities and communities involved in the commons can be powerful drivers of sustainable development for the continent.
LPWAN Technologies for IoT and M2M Applications
Low power wide area network (LPWAN) is a promising solution for long range and low power Internet of Things (IoT) and machine to machine (M2M) communication applications. The LPWANs are resource-constrained networks and have critical requirements for long battery life, extended coverage, high scalability, and low device and deployment costs. There are several design and deployment challenges such as media access control, spectrum management, link optimization and adaptability, energy harvesting, duty cycle restrictions, coexistence and interference, interoperability and heterogeneity, security and privacy, and others.LPWAN Technologies for IoT and M2M Applications is intended to provide a one-stop solution for study of LPWAN technologies as it covers a broad range of topics and multidisciplinary aspects of LPWAN and IoT. Primarily, the book focuses on design requirements and constraints, channel access, spectrum management, coexistence and interference issues, energy efficiency, technology candidates, use cases of different applications in smart city, healthcare, and transportation systems, security issues, hardware/software platforms, challenges, and future directions.
Euro-Par’ 99 Parallel Processing
Euro-Parisaninternationalconferencededicatedtothepromotionandadvan- ment of all aspects of parallel computing. The major themes can be divided into the broad categories of hardware, software, algorithms and applications for p- allel computing. The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum within which to promote the development of parallel computing both as an industrial te- nique and an academic discipline, extending the frontier of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. This is particularly important at a time when parallel computing is undergoing strong and sustained development and experiencing real industrial take-up. The main audience for and participants in Euro-Pa...
Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services, GECON 2013, held in Zaragoza, Spain, in September 2013.The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: business models, energy consumption, resource allocation, work in progress on resource allocation, work in progress on pricing, quality of service, work in progress on utility and ROI modeling.
Ad-hoc, Mobile, and Wireless Networks
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Ad-hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks, ADHOC-NOW 2014, held in Benidorm, Spain, in June 2014. The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. The papers address such diverse topics as routing, cellular networks, MAC and physical layer, mobile ad hoc, sensor and robot networks, localization and security, vehicular ad-hoc networks.
Discrete Dynamical Systems and Chaotic Machines
Until the authors' recent research, the practical implementation of the mathematical theory of chaos on finite machines raised several issues. This self-contained book shows how to make finite machines, such as computers, neural networks, and wireless sensor networks, work chaotically as defined in a rigorous mathematical framework. Taking into account that these machines must interact in the real world, the authors share their research results on the behaviors of discrete dynamical systems and their use in computer science.
High Performance Computing - HiPC 2004
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on High-Performance Computing, HiPC 2004, held in Bangalore, India in December 2004. The 48 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 253 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on wireless network management, compilers and runtime systems, high performance scientific applications, peer-to-peer and storage systems, high performance processors and routers, grids and storage systems, energy-aware and high-performance networking, and distributed algorithms.
Multimedia Multicast on the Internet
This book examines multicast technology and will be a key text for undergraduate engineering students and master students in networks and telecoms. However, it will be equally useful for a wide range of professionals in this research field. Multicast routing was introduced with the advent of multiparty applications (for example, videoconferencing on the Internet) and collaborative work (for example, distributed simulations). It is related to the concept of group communication, a technique introduced to reduce communication costs. The various problems of multicast routing on the Internet are examined in detail. They include: group membership management, quality of service, reliability, safety, scalability and transport. Throughout the text, several protocols are introduced in order to analyze, compare and cover the various aspects of multicast routing.
Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services, GECON 2019, held in Leeds, UK, in September 2019. The 12 full papers and 10 short papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. This GECON 2019 proceedings was structured in selected topics, namely: blockchain technology and smart contracts; cost-based computing allocation; resource, service and communication federations; economic assessment, business and pricing models; blockchain and network function virtualization technologies; economic models for cyber-physical systems, industry 4.0 and sustainable systems; resource management; and emerging ideas.
