The Design of a Single Funding Point Charging Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most federations across the world apply Single Sign-On (SSO) Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) platforms. Thus, access to services offered by organizations, which belong to such a federation, can be granted to their users independent of their current location. The increasing demand to charge users for those service usages lead organizations to establish various charging mechanisms. However, until today the majority of organizations is using service-dependent solutions to perform charging. This policy absorbs the utility of an SSO system, since users still have to monitor and control each credit account separately. Therefore, the approach proposed defines an extension to SSO platforms, which is consolidated, non dispersed and service-independent. A Single Funding Point Charging Architecture (SFP-CA) allows users to settle payments using funds from the same credit account, for any type of service they use inside their federation.

An Embedded Charging Approach for RSVP
Charging mechanisms are needed to protect an integrated services network from arbitrary resource reservations and to create a funding mechanism to extend network capacity at the most desired locations at the expense of those users that actually use these resources. In this paper, we describe a charging model that can be embedded in the RSVP architecture. Our model is open and flexible in that i...
متن کاملDynamics of a Single Point Mooring Marine Aquaculture Cage as a Simple Vibrating System
The increasing world demand for fish cannot be met by capture fisheries. Aquaculture production is increasing and nowadays cage culture has an important role in meeting the world’s fish demand. The design of the physical structure of a cage is determined by the oceanographic conditions of the culture site. Each design is site-specific and knowledge of the topography, wind force and direct...
متن کاملASIC Design of Butterfly Unit Based on Non-Redundant and Redundant Algorithm
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processors employed with pipeline architecture consist of series of Processing Elements (PE) or Butterfly Units (BU). BU or PE of FFT performs multiplication and addition on complex numbers. This paper proposes a single BU to compute radix-2, 8 point FFT in the time domain as well as frequency domain by replacing a series of PEs. This BU comprises of fused floating ...

Without the surrounding environment of a site, architecture loses its full meaning. In the evolutionof the design process, a site's environment should be understood as the integral factor within which a designed productor artifact is expected to perform. The environment is not of secondary priority. Every building is intertwined with itscontext; context being its physical, visual and ecological...
متن کاملProviding a Method of Intelligent Charging of Electric Vehicles with Discrete Rates with the Aim of Flattening Load Profile and Reducing Number of Switching Times
From the point of view of network operation, the lack of proper management of electric vehicles in the network can change the load profile of the network and causes numerous peaks and valleys in it, which is not appropriate from the perspective of network operators. In this paper, an intelligent charging strategy in which according to the information recorded by drivers such as the length of th...
