An Overlay-Network Approach for Distributed Access to SRS
نویسندگان
چکیده
SRS is a widely used system for integrating biological databases. Currently, SRS relies only on locally provided copies of these databases. In this paper we propose a mechanism that also allows the seamless integration of remote databases. To this end, our proposed mechanism splits the existing SRS functionality into two components and adds a third component that enables us to employ peer-to-peer computing techniques to create optimized overlay-networks within which database queries can efficiently be routed. As an additional benefit, this mechanism also reduces the administration effort that would be needed with a conventional approach using replicated databases. Index terms — Biological Information Retrieval, SRS, Overlay-network Formation, Peer-to-peer Computing

An overlay and distributed approach to node mobility in multi-access wireless networks
Nowadays many manufacturers are building mobile devices with multiple interfaces. Thus, users have access to different types of wireless access networks, which often, as for WLAN and cellular systems, coexists independently. The challenge is to make such multiple access networks to cooperate to have ubiquitous access and enhanced user quality of service. In this paper we present a scheme to all...
متن کاملOverlay Networks Formation : Models and Algorithms Doctoral Dissertation of : Jocelyne Elias
Overlay networks have recently emerged as an effective means to provide a flexible, robust, and scalable platform for distributed applications, while leaving the underlying Internet infrastructure unchanged. This work tackles the overlay network design problem considering both centralized and fully distributed approaches. On one hand, we address the centralized overlay network design problem us...
متن کاملOptimal spectrum utilisation in cognitive network using combined spectrum sharing approach: overlay, underlay and trading
Cognitive radio technology enables unlicensed users (secondary users, SUs) to access the unused licensed spectrum which is allocated to primary users (PUs). In the literature, there are three traditional spectrum sharing paradigms that enable SUs to access the licensed spectrum. These access techniques include underlay, overlay and spectrum trading, and have their own drawbacks. To combat these...
متن کاملTransaktionale replizierte Objekte für verteilte und parallele Anwendungen
Because of physical constraints CPU clock rates are no longer growing as fast as in the past. As a consequence there is a paradigm shift in computer architecture moving to multi and many core CPUs. Only concurrent (multi-threaded) programs can exploit the potential of such CPUs pushing parallel programming into mainstream. This thesis adopts the basic idea for a distributed transactional memory...
متن کاملA harmony search-based approach for real-time volt & var control in distribution network by considering distributed generations units
In recent decade, development of telecommunications infrastructure has led to rapid exchange of data between the distribution network components and the control center in many developed countries. These changes, considering the numerous benefits of the Distributed Generators (DGs), have made more motivations for distribution companies to utilize these kinds of generators more than ever before. ...
