Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSystem Interoperability Study for Healthcare Information System with Web ServicesJ. K. Zhang, W. Xu, D. EwinsThis paper describes the use of a new distributed middleware technology ‘Web Services’ in the proposed Healthcare Information System (HIS) to address the issue of system interoperability raised from existing Healthcare Information systems. With the development of HISs, hospitals and healthcare institutes have been building their own HISs for processing massive healthcare data, such as, systems built up for hospitals … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Rejuvenation Scheduling of Distributed Computation Based on Dynamic ProgrammingHiroyuki Okamura, Kazuki Iwamoto, Tadashi DohiRecently, a complementary approach to handle transient software failures, called software rejuvenation, is becoming popular as a proactive fault management technique in operational software systems. In this study, we develop the optimal scheduling algorithms to trigger software rejuvenation in distributed computation circumstance. In particular, we focus on two different computation circumstances in terms of detection of failures. Based on the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Agents in Wireless LAN and Cellular Data NetworksR. B. Patel, V. K. Katiyar, Vishal GargAdvancing technology in wireless communication offers users anytime, anywhere access to information and network resources without restricting them to the fixed network infrastructure. Mobile computing represents a shift in the distributed systems paradigm. The potential of decoupled and disconnected operation, location-dependent computation and communication and powerful portable computing devices gives rise to opportunities for new patterns of distributed computation that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Definition of Extended High-level Timed Petri NetsCheng Guangming, Liao Minghong, Wu XianghuMany extensions of Petri nets have been proposed to model the behaviors and time relations of embedded system, yet these models are all based on some assumptions about the behaviors of embedded systems. Especially they all do not have the actual ability to model interrupt mechanism of embedded system. A new net which is called Extended High Level Timed Petri … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 7,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Reliability and Availability Characteristics of Two Different Systems by Using Linear First Order Differential EquationsKhaled M. El-Said, Mohamed S. EL-SherbenyThis study deals with the reliability and availability characteristics of two different series system configurations. The second system differs from the first system due to the additional feature of preventive maintenance. The failure times of a components are assumed to be exponentially distributed with parameters α,β,α' and β', respectively. The replacement time distribution of each server is also exponentially distributed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCIRCULAR NEIGHBOR REPLICATIONAhmad Shukri Mohd Noor, Nur Farhah Mat Zian, Yazid Md SamanDistributed system rely on replication techniques to tolerate data failure and site disconnection thus ensur-ing flexibility of the system so as to preserve its dependability. The idea of replication is robust however practical implementation of the replication techniques is often rigid that would bring down system's de-pendability and performance. This study intended to evaluate existing techniques and then develop a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 29 Dec 2014 · 8,111 accessesView PDFCite

Charao et al.This study presents the advances on designing and implementing scalable techniques to support the development and execution of MapReduce application in pervasive distributed computing infrastructures, in the context of the PER-MARE project. A pervasive framework for MapReduce applications is very useful in practice, especially in those scientific, enterprises and educational centers which have many unused or underused computing resources, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 24 Jul 2014 · 9,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Fault Tolerant Scheduling Approach for Computational GridP. Keerthika, N. KasthuriGrid computing serves as an important technology to facilitate distributed computation computational grids solve large scale scientific problems using heterogeneous geographically distributed resources. Problems like dispatching and scheduling of tasks are considered as major issues in computational grid environment. The Grid Scheduler must select proper resources for executing the tasks with less response time. There are various reasons such as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 5 Jan 2013 · 7,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncremental DataGrid Mining Algorithm for Mobility Prediction of Mobile UsersU. Sakthi, R.S. BhuvaneswaranProblem statement: Mobility prediction is the important issue in Personal Communication Systems (PCS). Mobile users moving logs are stored in data grid located in different locations. Distributed data mining algorithm is applied on this moving logs to generate the mobility pattern of mobile users. As new moving logs are added to the data grid, existing mobility pattern becomes invalid and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 6,776 accessesView PDFCite
