Developing a Roaming PDA-Based Interface for a Steering Client for OGSI::Lite using .Net: Practical Lessons Learned
نویسنده
چکیده
As part of our contribution to the RealityGrid project we have developed a computational steering client that can be used on a PDA from any wireless access point. This development has the potential to free the application scientist from the desktop as the only means of steering simulations. We have used the PDA steerer to interactively steer compute intensive simulations in OGSI::Lite from a living room, a lecture theatre, whilst on AccessGrid and even from a garden. This paper is a discussion of the practical human computer interaction issues of the PDA client and the practical software engineering issues in developing it in .Net using OGSI::Lite.

The grid has been developed to support large-scale computer simulations in a diverse range of scientific and engineering fields. Consequently, the increasing availability of powerful distributed computing resources is changing how scientists undertake large-scale modelling/simulation. Instead of being limited to local computing resources, scientists are now able to make use of supercomputing fa...

The Internet of Things and Services (IoTS) has encouraged the development of service provisioning systems in respect to Smart City topics. Most of them are operated as heterogeneous systems which limits end customers’ access and contradicts with IoTS principles. In this paper, we discuss and develop a reference model of an interconnected service marketplace ecosystem. The prototypical implement...
متن کاملA Formal Petri Net Based Model for Antivirus Update Agent System
In this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition Petri nets. The mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called DCA and UNA. It sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. Each agent takes on a specified responsibility. First, DCA roams through the network and check the last d...
