The growing demand on the variety of internet applications requires management of large scale networks by efficient Quality of Service (QoS) routing, which considerably contributes to the QoS architecture. The biggest contemporary drawback in the maintenance and distribution of the global state is the increase in communication overheads. Unbalancing in the network, due to the frequent use of the links assigned to the shortest path retaining most of the network loads is regarded as a major problem for best effort service. Localised QoS routing, where the source nodes use statistics collected locally, is already described in contemporary sources as more advantageous. Scalability, however, is still one of the main concerns of existing localised QoS routing algorithms. The main aim of this thesis is to present and validate new localised algorithms in order to develop the scalability of QoS routing. Existing localised routing, Credit Based Routing (CBR) and Proportional Sticky Routing (PSR), use the blocking probability as a factor in selecting the routing paths and work with either credit or flow proportion respectively, which makes impossible having up-to-date information. Therefore our proposed Highest Minimum Bandwidth (HMB) and Highest Average Bottleneck Bandwidth History (HABBH) algorithms utilise bandwidth as the direct QoS criterion to select routing paths. We introduce an Integrated Delay Based Routing and Admission Control mechanism. Using this technique Minimum Total Delay (MTD), Low Fraction Failure (LFF) and Low Path Failure (LPF) were compared against the global QoS routing scheme, Dijkstra, and localised High Path Credit (HPC) scheme and showed superior performance. The simulation with the non-uniformly distributed traffic reduced blocking probability of the proposed algorithms. Therefore, we advocate the algorithms presented in the thesis, as a scalable approach to control large networks. We strongly suggest that bandwidth and mean delay are feasible QoS constraints to select optimal paths by locally collected information. We have demonstrated that a few good candidate paths can be selected to balance the load in the network and minimise communication overhead by applying the disjoint paths method, recalculation of candidate paths set and dynamic paths selection method. Thus, localised QoS routing can be used as a load balancing tool in order to improve the network resource utilization. A delay and bandwidth combination is one of the future prospects of our work, and the positive results presented in the thesis suggest that further development of a distributed approach in candidate paths selection may enhance the proposed localised algorithms. / Umm AlQura University in Mecca

Los métodos de Ingeniería Web dirigidos por modelos han mejorado tanto la calidad como la eficiencia a la hora de desarrollar aplicaciones Web. Estos métodos utilizan modelos conceptuales para capturar de forma abstracta una representación detallada de la aplicación Web a desarrollar. La ventaja más destacada de esta aproximación es que a partir de estos modelos, ampliamente validados en entornos industriales, es factible la generación sistemática del código que implementa la aplicación Web. Las aplicaciones Web 2.0 destacan, fundamentalmente, en la alta implicación de los usuarios a la hora de crear sus contenidos, ya sean en forma de opiniones, fotos, definiciones o videos. Este hecho enfatiza el carácter colaborativo de las aplicaciones Web 2.0 y otorga al usuario un rol primordial en la aplicación. Para lograr la colaboración del usuario, es un requisito imprescindible que la aplicación proporcione una interacción precisa e intuitiva. Este objetivo se ha conseguido en las aplicaciones Web 2.0 mediante: 1) una interfaz de usuario tecnológicamente muy avanzada y con un elevado grado de usabilidad; y 2) la reutilización de un conjunto de buenas prácticas, ampliamente aplicadas en el dominio de la Web 2.0, que proporcionan al usuario una forma sencilla y conocida de interactuar con la aplicación. Con el objetivo de desarrollar aplicaciones Web 2.0 de calidad, ambos aspectos tienen que estar presentes en los métodos de Ingeniería Web. Esta tesis doctoral presenta el método de Ingeniería Web dirigido por modelos OOWS 2.0 como una evolución incremental y necesaria del método OOWS. El objetivo esencial de este nuevo método es el de proporcionar la expresividad conceptual requerida para el desarrollo de aplicaciones Web 2.0. En concreto, las contribuciones se centran en soportar los aspectos avanzados de la interacción con el usuario final, tan relevantes en este tipo de aplicaciones. Para lograr esta meta, la tesis doctoral introduce una serie de modelos conceptuales que capturan, sin ambigüedades, las nuevas necesidades de interacción demandadas por las aplicaciones Web 2.0. / Valverde Giromé, F.

Yes / This is the ninth workshop to be organised under the postgraduate programmes in electrical and electronic engineering (EEE). The workshop concludes the Research Seminar Series, which has provided a platform for disseminating the latest research activities in related technologies through its weekly seminars. The EEE courses cover a broad range of technologies and this is reflected in the variety of topics presented during the workshop. In total, forty-four papers have been selected for the proceedings, which have been divided into eight sections. The workshop aims to be as close to a `real¿ event as possible. Hence, authors have responded to a Call for Papers with an abstract, prior to the submission of the final paper. This has been a novel experience for many, if not all of the contributors. As usual, authors have taken up the challenge with enthusiasm, resulting in a collection of papers that reflects today¿s research challenges. / School of Engineering, Design and Technology

The increasing importance of computer leads to develop new manufacturing methods. One of the most important example / &ldquo / unmanned shop floor&rdquo / model aims, the mankind can work in jobs that they can be more efficient and more comfortable. As the base of this model, in Middle East Technical University Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory (METUCIM) &ldquo / Agent Version 1.1&rdquo / system is developed. Windows Distributed Internet Applications (DNA) modeling technique is used for the software development. In the developed system, by using web pages, one can give work orders to the flexible manufacturing cell in METUCIM. The manufacturing capabilities of the cell are limited by the capabilities of CNC Lathe and CNC Milling machine that exist in the system. By the developed agent based dynamic scheduling method, it is prevented to be only an experimental system for the manufacturing cell. The real manufacturing environment is adapted to the cell that it is possible to give unlimited number of work orders. The work orders can be queued and manufactured according to their &ldquo / priorities&rdquo / . By the &ldquo / web-cam&rdquo / application the given work orders can be watched from the web site so the system reliability is increased for the engineer. In the real manufacturing environment it is very frequent that the &ldquo / urgent part&rdquo / is needed to manufacture. In this system it is possible to give &ldquo / urgent orders&rdquo / for these situations.

Universities want to go where the learners are to share their rich scientific and intellectual knowledge beyond the walls of the academy and to expand the boundaries of the classroom. This desire has become a critical need, as the worldwide economy adjusts to globalization and the need for advanced education and training becomes ever more critical. Unfortunately, the work of creating, processing, distributing and using quality multimedia learning content is expensive and technically challenging. The work combines research results, lessons learned and usage findings in the presentation of a fully open source based scalable lecture capture solution, that is useful in the heterogenous computing landscape of today’s universities and learning institutes. Especially implemented user facing applications and components are being addressed, which enable lecturers, faculty and students to record, analyze and subsequently re-use the recorded multimedia learning material in multiple and attractive ways across devices and distribution platforms.
