چکیده

This paper describes engineering a system for a distributed Austrian Alpine road-pricing environment as well as the structure and organization of the software development. The client/server-based road-pricing system, handling on the average 1.2 million vehicle transitions per month, had be to operational within mere eight months after the start of the project. Current practical and industrial problems of client/server system strategies are discussed. Our main theses derived from the presented case study are: in current medium to large software engi neering tasks there is a need for a) technical specialists for industrially identified project stress points (database, network, front-end) with experience in large projects, b) a project and process plan for a (very) short development time frame before production, and c) a dynamic production-oriented process model rather tha n a traditional linear process model.

A Novel Method for VANET Improvement using Cloud Computing

In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for VANET using cloud computing. We accomplish processing, routing and traffic control in a centralized and parallel way by adding one or more server to the network. Each car or node is considered a Client, in such a manner that routing, traffic control, getting information from client and data processing and storing are performed by one or more serve...

Reactive Power Pricing in an Open Access Environment Considering Combined Optimum Voltage Profile and Voltage Stability

In a de-regulated open access environment, reactive power is one of the ancillary services which must be provided by an Independent System Operator (ISO). In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed in which reactive power resources are initially so tuned that optimum security in terms of voltage profile and voltage stability are achieved while at the same time, the system losses are minimized. ...

Reverse Engineering of Distributed System Architecture – a Case Study

To effectively reason about an existing software system it is often necessary to reverse engineering architectural information about the system from its implemented software artifacts. This process is particularly challenging for distributed systems since their architecture are specified in terms of runtime abstractions whose implementation is notoriously difficult to detect using existing reve...

Separating indexes from data: a distributed scheme for secure database outsourcing

Database outsourcing is an idea to eliminate the burden of database management from organizations. Since data is a critical asset of organizations, preserving its privacy from outside adversary and untrusted server should be warranted. In this paper, we present a distributed scheme based on storing shares of data on different servers and separating indexes from data on a distinct server. Shamir...
