Liquid Software: A New Paradigm for Networked Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the idea of dynamically moving functionality in a network—between clients and servers, and between hosts at the edge of the network and nodes inside the network. At the heart of moving functionality is the ability to support mobile code—code that is not tied to any single machine, but instead can easily move from one machine to another. Mobile code has been studied mostly for application-level code. This paper explores its use for all facets of the network, and in a much more general way. Issues of efficiency, interface design, security, and resource allocation, among others, are addressed. We use the term liquid software to describe the complete picture—liquidsoftware is an entire infrastructure for dynamically moving functionality throughout a network. We expect liquid software to enble new paradigms, such as active networks that allow users and applications to customize the network by interjecting code into it.

Markovian Delay Prediction-Based Control of Networked Systems
A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...
متن کاملUtilizing Evaluation in Networked Machine Translation*
In this paper we develop the prerequisites of a processing strategy to be employed in a networked machine translation environment. Networked Machine Translation (NMT) is a new MT paradigm based on the recent and emerging developments in the field of information technology (IT), World Wide Web (WWW) technology and language technology (LT), in particular networked computing. This new MT paradigm ...
متن کاملDesigninga Neuro-Sliding Mode Controller for Networked Control Systems with Packet Dropout
This paper addresses control design in networked control system by considering stochastic packet dropouts in the forward path of the control loop. The packet dropouts are modelled by mutually independent stochastic variables satisfying Bernoulli binary distribution. A sliding mode controller is utilized to overcome the adverse influences of stochastic packet dropouts in networked control system...
متن کاملModelling and Compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with plant uncertainty using an Improved RMPC Method
Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In...
متن کاملManaging Environment and Adaptation Risks for the Internetware Paradigm
Internetware is receiving increasing attention. It envisions a new, yet promising software engineering paradigm for constructing complex systems that are situated in open and dynamic networked environments. Typical examples of Internetware systems include Internet-based and cyber-physical systems. These systems, although having addressed some practical needs, may still be subject to various env...
