ProxStor is a cloud-based human proximity storage and query informational system taking advantage of both the near ubiquity of mobile devices and the growing digital infrastructure in our everyday physical world, commonly referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). The combination provides the opportunity for mobile devices to identify when entering and leaving the proximity of a space based upon this unique identifying infrastructure information. ProxStor provides a low-overhead interface for storing these proximity events while additionally offering search and query capabilities to enable a richer class of location aware applications. ProxStor scales up to store and manage more than one billion objects, while enabling future horizontal scaling to expand to multiple systems working together supporting even more objects. A single seamless web interface is presented to clients system.. More than 18 popular graph database systems are supported behind ProxStor. Performance benchmarks while running on Neo4j and OrientDB graph database systems are compared to determine feasibility of the design. / text

There is an accelerating demand to access and work over the visual content of documents. Because of the insufficiency of text-based techniques for storing this data, content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems have become a promising field. Due this fact, in this study a CBIR system is implemented that is Mpeg-7 compliant and ORDBMS based. The database contains images and their content summaries that are parsed from XML files. The summaries describe their dominant colors, color histograms, color spaces and labels, in order to be compliant with Mpeg-7. The query process requires only the summary not the image itself. Software implementation of the system is based on JSP and servlet technologies using Oracle database and Tomcat web server. It is shown that the usage of these tools in the proposed architecture brings security, portability, and speed.

Denna kandidatuppsats berör databaser i javabaserade bildhanteringssystem där bilderna lagras och hämtas som binära objekt. I MySQL och en del andra databashanterare kallas detta format för Blob(Binary large object). För att bildhanteringssystemet skall fungera bra krävs det att man använder en snabb databas. Syftet har varit att av ett urval databaser utse den databas som är snabbast i avseende på svarstider för hämtning av bilder som lagras som binära objekt i databaser. Databaserna är de fyra välkända databashanterarna MySQL, MariaDB, PostGreSQL och MongoDB. Testerna har utförts med databaserna integrerade i Javabaserade klient-server moduler för att så mycket som möjligt spegla de villkor som förekommer i ett bildhanteringssystem. De testverktyg som har använts är JMeter som är en avancerad applikation för mätning av svarstider och PerfMon som övervakar åtgång av systemresurser. MongoDB var den snabbaste bilddatabasen men det finns många osäkerhetsfaktorer som måste beaktas vilket också beskrivs i denna kandidatuppsats. Trots att många åtgärder för att motverka osäkerhetsfaktorerna har gjorts, förblir mätosäkerheten stor. Mer åtgärder för att isolera databasernas del av svarstiderna i ett klient-server system måste göras. Förslag på åtgärder redogörs i denna kandidatuppsats. / This bachelor thesis concerns databases in Java-based imaging system where the images are stored and retrieved as binary objects. In MySQL and in some other database management systems this format is called Blob (Binary Large Object). For the imaging system to work well, it is necessary to use a fast database. The aim has been that out of a sample of databases designate the database that is the fastest in terms of response times for downloading images stored as binary objects in databases. The databases are the four well-known database management systems MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and MongoDB. The tests have been conducted with the databases integrated into Java-based client-server modules in order to as much as possible mirror the conditions prevailing in an imaging system. The test tool that has been used is JMeter which is an advanced application for measuring response times and PerfMon to monitor the consumption of system resources. MongoDB was the fastest image database, but there are many uncertainties that must be considered, which is also explained in this bachelor thesis. Although many measures to counter the uncertainties have been made, the measurement uncertainty remains big. Further measures to isolate the database part of the response times in a client-server system must be made. Proposed measures are described in this bachelor thesis.

No. of bitstreams: 1 ANDRÉ ANDRADE COSTA - DISSERTAÇÃO PPGCC 2002..pdf: 1376168 bytes, checksum: 7d150a2acf05e99d8a59f01bfe2f686c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2002-12-06 / Um grande número de aplicações distribuídas tem seu projeto e implementação sustentados por plataformas de desenvolvimento. Estas plataformas provêm uma série de serviços especializados, permitindo assim que os programadores possam se concentrar mais nas regras de negócio das aplicações que desenvolvem. Atualmente a plataforma J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) da SUN Microsystems é uma das mais populares para este fim. Infelizmente, tolerância a falhas, um requisito não funcional cada vez mais presente nas aplicações, não é diretamente suportada pela especificação J2EE. Aplicações desenvolvidas sobre essa plataforma devem, elas mesmas, implementar os mecanismos para tolerância a falhas requeridos, ou usar implementações da plataforma que possuam características de tolerância a falhas. Nesta dissertação nós apresentamos o projeto e a implementação de um servidor de aplicações J2EE que implementa esses mecanismos. Diferentemente de outras soluções disponíveis, que usam replicação passiva, o nosso sistema usa replicação ativa para prover alta confiabilidade de forma totalmente transparente para as aplicações. / The use of developing platforms to support the implementation of distributed applications has become a trend. These platforms provide a number of specialized services that help programmers to focus on the business logic of the applications they develop, instead of wasting precious time with the implementation of infrastructure services. J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) is a platform backed up by SUN Microsystems that has lately gain a lot of attention. Unfortunately, the J2EE specification does not provide any support for fault tolerance, a non-functional requirement more and more necessary for distributed applications. Developers of such applications must themselves provide the necessary mechanisms to fulfill the requirements of the applications. Alternatively, they can use implementations of the platform that are themselves fault tolerant. In this dissertation we present the design and implementation of such a platform. Unlike other implementations available, that use passive replication, our approach uses active replication to provide a solution that is highly reliable and totally transparent to the application.

This thesis deals with messaging and integration of third-party JMS providers into JBoss application server. The aim of the thesis was to design and implement a general-purpose testsuite to verify the proposed integration. First requirement was to get familiar with key technologies for integration including Java Message Service, Java EE Connector Architecture, selected JMS providers and JBoss AS. Specific procedures of integration were designed and described for JMS providers Apache ActiveMQ, IBM WebSphere MQ and Red Hat MRG Messaging. The testsuite implemented to verify the functionlity of the integration focuses on four areas - transactions, clustering, high availibility and performance. The process of testing was automated using continuous integration tool Jenkins. Finally the test application was used to evaluate functionality of the integration and compare different JMS providers and various versions of JBoss AS.

The thesis is dealing with research of automatic evaluation of e-learning tests. That technology is useful for domain of computer aided learning and e-learning and intelligent tutoring systems.
