Aim of this thesis is the description of the Microsoft .NET Framework, its different versions, architecture, and its assembly, used for its simplistic architecture, and ease of use with the assembly it is the ideal environment for creating modular applications. The work describes the C# programming language and its versions. It includes a description of the different stages and evolution of the web application framework ASP.NET. It includes a short description of the ADO.NET and LINQ technologies, used to access data from databases. It describes different databases, they structure and classification. At the end there is a layout for a database structure, blogging system, aim and structure of the files, the different system parts and functions.

Publicación a texto completo no autorizada por el autor / Presenta una definición de arquitectura de referencia para soluciones empresariales móviles que sea reutilizable y que considere también una guía de decisión basada principalmente en el Framework de decisiones móviles de Gartner y otros estudios relacionados. El tipo de soluciones móviles sobre el cual se concentra la arquitectura de referencia es el de mejora de servicios al consumidor y se usará el enfoque centrado en la arquitectura del software Engineering Institute para la definición y validación de la arquitectura de referencia. También se detalla su integración con las metodologías tradicionales (dirigidas por planes) y agiles de desarrollo de software. Como resultado de esta tesina, la Arquitectura de referencia ayudara a las empresas en la definición de la arquitectura de sus soluciones móviles de una forma eficaz y eficiente. / Trabajo de suficiencia profesional

This thesis is about description and design of system for media files management and their distribution. System allows users to upload media files in different formats. Media files are distributed to devices on which they are played. The system creates an overview of the playback based on records that the device sent to the system. The thesis describes the technology used to create the system. Furthermore, the work is a description of the structure of the system, its functions and a description of system implementation.

This diploma thesis deals with design and implementation of a network application for monitoring of computers for a chosen company. The application allows administrators to automate the gathering of hardware and software information. The purpose of the application is also to monitor hardware values, such as processor temperature or harddisk free space. The design uses client-server architecture. Three applications were created: server, client and graphical management console.

The capacity to engage in web services transactions on smartphones is growing as these devices become increasingly powerful and sophisticated. This capacity for mobile web services is being realised through mobile applications that consume web services hosted on larger computing devices. This thesis investigates the effect that end-to-end web services security has on the interoperability between mobile web services requesters and traditional web services providers. SOAP web services are the preferred web services approach for this investigation. Although WS-Security is recognised as demanding on mobile hardware and network resources, the selection of appropriate WS-Security mechanisms lessens this burden. An attempt to implement such mechanisms on smartphones is carried out via an experiment. Smartphones are selected as the mobile device type used in the experiment. The experiment is conducted on the Java Micro Edition (Java ME) and the .NET Compact Framework (.NET CF) smartphone platforms. The experiment shows that the implementation of interoperable, end-to-end, mobile web services security on both platforms is reliant on third-party libraries. This reliance on third-party libraries results in poor developer support and exposes developers to the complexity of cryptography. The experiment also shows that there are no standard message size optimisation libraries available for both platforms. The implementation carried out on the .NET CF is also shown to rely on the underlying operating system. It is concluded that standard WS-Security APIs must be provided on smartphone platforms to avoid the problems of poor developer support and the additional complexity of cryptography. It is recommended that these APIs include a message optimisation technique. It is further recommended that WS-Security APIs be completely operating system independent when they are implemented in managed code. This thesis contributes by: providing a snapshot of mobile web services security; identifying the smartphone platform state of readiness for end-to-end secure web services; and providing a set of recommendations that may improve this state of readiness. These contributions are of increasing importance as mobile web services evolve from a simple point-to-point environment to the more complex enterprise environment.

The paper focuses on the issue of access control. It presents an universal bilateral protocol of access control of ACP. The paper describes the messages and its sequences that AC portals uses for communication. It describes the functions and features of the modules from which the portal is composed. The paper suggests the concept of a modular AC portal solutions including the design of basic modules. It also outlines possible test scenarios. Under this proposal is generated functional AC portal on the .NET Framework platform using the C\# programming language. The portal provides access to local assets or to the assets on other computers in the local network. Created application is tested according to the scenarios proposed in both the network version and the local version of the AC portal. Test results are objectively evaluated and commented.
