Emphasis is placed on possibility of remote control over computer network and accordingly on delegation of the interface creation on the human operated remote machine. The thesis analyzes contemporary approaches to and methods of interface generation. As a goal of the thesis a system for automatic user interface generation for remote applications was designed and implemented. The generation is based on specified data model.

This thesis deals with remote access to mobile devices with the Android system and their remote control possibilities. The aim was to create the interface for mobile devices remote control by remote desktop and also for changing mobile device's settings remotely. I focused on the utility of remote control for assistance in mobile devices usage. The solution was to create an application with the control interface, then application being controlled, and the server enabling communication between them. The server has been created with use of the Node.js technology. Socket.io library has been used for enabling communication between applications in real time. The remote desktop utilizes sending of screenshots and its clicks coordinates. These clicks on the remote device are executed by hidden API. Remote settings change uses API of Android SDK. It has been managed to develop the system that enable the control of the Android device and also to change its settings, both remotely.

The aim is to adapt the old heating system so that the new system will meet the needs of users and facilitate control of system. The new heating system can independently control heating automatically. Its important part is remote access to system control. The user always has up-to-date information and can adjust the heating to suit his needs.

Porém, nos últimos anos, sob a direção da agência reguladora do setor, a ANEEL (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica), juntamente com especialistas, a área de qualidade da energia elétrica passou a receber uma atenção significativa, sendo legislada e adquirindo suas regulamentações iniciais. A área de Qualidade da Energia Elétrica passou, então, a formalmente existir e abranger um conjunto maior de fenômenos e eventos da rede elétrica. Em função dessa recente regulamentação, este trabalho apresenta o projeto de um medidor da qualidade da energia elétrica. Um dos focos do medidor é ser de baixo custo, tornando-o viável para o uso em grande escala. Este medidor é um sistema eletrônico que processa digitalmente os sinais de tensão da rede elétrica, extraindo os dados relacionados à qualidade da energia elétrica; tais dados são armazenados localmente e, posteriormente, acessados remotamente e enviados para um banco de dados, de forma que possam ser analisados. / Some years ago in Brazil the power quality was related, basically, with interruption of supplied energy and certain special loads of industry. In recent years, however, under controls of the regulating agency ANEEL (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica) and with specialists, the power quality area received the due attention and was legislated and acquired regulations. So, finally, the area of Power Quality was formally created and now it embraces several electrical phenomena and events. Because of the new regulations, this work presents a project of a power quality meter. One of meter s focuses is to be a low cost system and becomes able to be used in large scale. This power quality meter is an electronic system that processes the voltage signal of electrical network and extracts data related to power quality; the data are locally stored and after they are remotely accessed and transmitted to a data base to be analyzed.

Plentiful research has addressed low-complexity software-based shared-memory systems since the idea was first introduced more than two decades ago. However, software-coherent systems have not been very successful in the commercial marketplace. We believe there are two main reasons for this: lack of performance and/or lack of binary compatibility. This thesis studies multiple aspects of how to design future binary-compatible high-performance scalable shared-memory servers while keeping the hardware complexity at a minimum. It starts with a software-based distributed shared-memory system relying on no specific hardware support and gradually moves towards architectures with simple hardware support. The evaluation is made in a modern chip-multiprocessor environment with both high-performance compute workloads and commercial applications. It shows that implementing the coherence-violation detection in hardware while solving the interchip coherence in software allows for high-performing binary-compatible systems with very low hardware complexity. Our second-generation hardware-software hybrid performs on par with, and often better than, traditional hardware-only designs. Based on our results, we conclude that it is not only possible to design simple systems while maintaining performance and the binary-compatibility envelope, it is often possible to get better performance than in traditional and more complex designs. We also explore two new techniques for evaluating a new shared-memory design throughout this work: adjustable simulation fidelity and statistical multiprocessor cache modeling.

Resumo: Para simplificar o gerenciamento de computadores, vários sistemas de administração estruturados por conexões físicas adotam técnicas avançadas para gestão de configuração de software. No entanto, a forte ligação entre hardware e o software faz com que haja uma individualização desta gerência, além da penalização da mobilidade e ubiqüidade do poder computacional. Neste cenário, cada computador torna-se uma entidade individual a ser gerenciada, exigindo operações manuais de configuração da imagem de sistema. Tecnologias que oferecem gestão centralizada baseadas em conexões físicas cliente-servidor, combinando técnicas de virtualização com a utilização de sistemas de arquivos distribuídos, refletem a degradação em flexibilidade e facilidade de instalação deste sistema gerenciador. Outras arquiteturas para gerenciamento centralizado que estruturam o compartilhamento de dados através de conexões físicas e dependem do protocolo PXE, apresentam os mesmos impasses descritos anteriormente. Diante das limitações dos modelos de gerenciamento centralizado baseado em conexões físicas, o objetivo deste trabalho é o desenvolvimento de um middleware de comunicação cliente-servidor como parte integrante e necessária para um ambiente de gerenciamento centralizado em redes de comunicações sem fio. Este ambiente, denominado WSE-OS (Wireless Sharing Enviroment ? Operating Systems), é um modelo baseado Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) que associa técnicas de virtualização e sistema de acesso remoto seguro para criação de uma arquitetura distribuída como base de um sistema de gestão. WSE-OS é capaz de realizar a replicação de sistemas operacionais em um ambiente de comunicação sem fio além de oferecer abstração de hardware aos clientes. O WSE-OS pode substituir o boot local com disco rígido por um boot de uma Imagem de Sistema Única...

Nevertheless, the strong link between hardware and software makes for an individualism of that management, besides penalizing computational mobility and ubiquity. In this scenario, each computer becomes an individual entity to be managed, requiring manual operations of the system image configuration. Technologies that offer centralized management based on client-server physical connections, combining virtualization techniques with the use of distributed file systems in clusters with distributed processing on network computers reflect the deterioration in flexibility and ease of installation and maintenance of distributed applications. Other architectures for centralized management that structure the sharing of data through physical connections and depend on the PXE protocol, present the same dilemmas described above. Given the limitations models of centralized management based on physical connections, the objective of this project is the development of a middleware for client-server communication as part necessary of an environment for centralized management in wireless communications networks. This environment, called WSE-OS (Wireless Sharing Environment ? Operating Systems), is a model based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), which combines virtualization techniques and secure access system for creating a distributed architecture as the basis for a management system. WSE-OS is capable of replicating operating systems in a wireless environment, addition to providing hardware abstraction to clients. The WSE-OS can replace the boot with local hard disk to a boot from SSI (Single System Image) virtualized in server via communication middleware, increasing flexibility and allowing multiple operating systems...

Orientador: Roberta Spolon / Banca: João Paulo Papa / Banca: Regina Helena Carlucci Santana / Resumo: O maior custo de propriedade de computadores não é o hardware ou o software, mas sim o tempo que os profissionais de informática gastam em suporte e manutenção dos ambientes computacionais. Em um conglomerado de computadores em rede, cada computador torna- se uma entidade gerenciada individualmente, o que gera contínuas solicitações de alterações de configuração, como instalação de atualizações de software, conexão e configuração de periféricos, criação de perfis de e-mail e aplicação de patches. Além disso, existe ainda o risco de furto de dados e invasão por hackers quando os computadores dos usuários não estão protegidos. Aliado a este cenário, a constante evolução dos sistemas computacionais e seu potencial de processamento, a cada dia são necessárias novas técnicas de aproveitamento destes recursos. Soluções que visam facilitar o gerenciamento de ambientes com grande massa de computadores de forma a tirar o máximo proveito do poder computacional concentrado em servidores já se tornaram necessidades reais, não só em grandes corporações, mas também em pequenas e médias empresas, além de outros tipos organizações, como por exemplo, instituições de ensino. Frente esta necessidade, focando uma ferramenta compatível neste cenário de crescimento, este trabalho apresenta um modelo de gerenciamento centralizado, nomeado WSE-OS (Wireless Sharing Environment - Operating Systems), baseado em técnicas de virtualização e acesso remoto seguro combinadas a um sistema de arquivos remotos em espaço de usuário. Esta solução elimina a necessidade da instalação e configuração de aplicativos "máquina a máquina", além de tirar maior proveito do poder computacional existente nos servidores. A principal característica deste modelo que o destaca das soluções atuais é que ele é especificamente elaborado para operar sobre redes...

In a conglomerate of computers in a network, each computer becomes an entity managed individually, which generates continuous requests for configuration changes, such as installing software updates, configuration and connection of peripherals, profiling email and applying patches. Moreover, there is the risk of data theft and hacking when users' computers are not protected. Allied to this scenario, the constant evolution of computer systems and their potential for processing, each day requires new techniques for exploitation of these resources. Solutions aimed facilitating the management of environments with large mass of computers to take maximum advantage of computing power concentrated on servers have become real needs, not only in large corporations but also small and medium enterprises, besides other types organizations, such as educational institutions. Facing this need, focusing on a tool that supported this growth scenario, this work presents a centralized management model, named WSE-OS (Wireless Sharing Environment - Operating Systems) based on virtualization techniques and secure remote access combined with a remote file system in user space. This solution eliminates the need for installing and configuring applications "machine to machine", besides take greater advantage of existing computing power on the servers . The main feature of this model that highlights the current solutions is that it is specifically designed to operate on networks with low transmission rates, such as wireless networks. The WSE-OS is able to perform the replication of operating system images in an environment with WLAN communication, which makes management more flexible and independent of physical connections, besides offer...
