Distributed software platforms for rehabilitating obsolete hardware
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diffusion of ICTs created the issue of an enormus quantity of old computers to be discarded (e-Waste). Sustainable dismantle is becoming a global enviromental emergency. In this scenario, Trashware movement is spreading worldwide to give to computers the correct time of obsolescence and to face the ecological problem related to e-waste. Workgroups aim to profitably reuse discarded computers as an alternative to dismantling them. The spread of this phenomenon is deeply related to the Open Source and Free Software movements. The purpose of this piece of research is to combine Trashware to Clustering, in order to verify if further optimisations are possible. Experimentation was conducted on clusters of old machines and results are hereby presented.

Towards a Systematic Approach for Software Synthesis
Development of software-intensive systems nowadays rely extremely on middleware platforms as a major building block especially to handle the distribution issues. This dependency has become even more crucial in the distributed embedded systems environment. As such, the architectural choices of such systems are being driven by middleware platforms. However, diversity and high frequency of evoluti...

Introduction The concept of time has always been a puzzling thought in our minds. Desire to order various events has led to its evolution. At a glance this problem appears to be trivial, but due to the very distributed nature of the problem and the possible presence of faulty clocks system, several problems may arise. The speed and eeciency of a clock synchronization is also issues because it i...

To acquire state-of-the-art hardware at reduced cost, the U.S. Navy is committed to buying Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) computer hardware. In this rapidly changing technological world, today's hardware will be obsolete tomorrow. The Navy's complex problems often require more computational power than can be delivered by a single serial processor. The solution lies in distributed processing. H...
