Abstract That norms matter for politics is a widely shared observation. Existing political science research on norm diffusion, localization, and contestations is, however, constrained due to methodological manageability of empirical data. To face this challenge, we propose an interdisciplinary collaboration between computer science. Using the show case energy politics, want conduct unsupervised...

Early Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) deployments feature a "fat" Access Point (AP), which serves as a stand-alone interface between the wired and wireless network segments. However, this model raises scaling, mobility, and manageability issues, and the Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol is meant to address these issues. CAPWAP effectively splits the fat AP ...

OS virtualization is drastically changing the face of system administration for large computer installations such as commercial datacenters and scientific clusters. A recent report by Gartner predicts that commercial use of virtualization will triple over the five year period beginning in 2004 [1]. While it is commonly held that OS virtualization improves the utility, manageability, and scalabi...

The main ad hoc routing protocols that were proposed generally provide only flat networks. However the Internet has always been of a hierarchical nature, for scalability and manageability reasons. This paper therefore introduces a simple mechanism providing dynamic clustering with OLSR, one of the MANET routing solutions, chosen for its ease of integration in the Internet infrastructure. This c...

The advent of new storage technologies, combined with new business requirements, is driving IT leaders to evaluate ways to modernize their IT infrastructures. This involves selecting the right storage architecture in order to thrive in this new era. Organizations therefore need to consider the critical capabilities that their businesses require and understand the limitations and opportunities t...

Modern computing environments, such as enterprise data centers, Grids, and PlanetLab, introduce distributed services to address scalability, locality, and reliability. Web Services (WS), in particular, improve decoupling, decentralization, and autonomicity within distributed systems. Unfortunately, scale and decentralization introduce additional problems in distributed services management, such...

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L’archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau...

Mobile application developers should be able to specify how applications can adapt to changing conditions, and to later reconfigure the application to suit new circumstances. Event-based communication have been advocated to facilitate such dynamic changes. Event-based models, however, are fragmented, which makes it difficult to understand the dependencies between components. A process-oriented ...
