The German–Vietnamese water-related information system for the Mekong Delta (WISDOM) project supports business processes in Integrated Water Resources Management in Vietnam. Multiple disciplines bring together earth and ground based observation themes, such as environmental monitoring, water management, demographics, economy, information technology, and infrastructural

Based on an analysis of the heterogeneous systems for interconnecting distributed infrastructural devices, such as low-bandwidth sensor/actuator-networks and the research prototype experience, the paper describes a productionlevel implementation of an integrating architecture for accessing various infranets via intranets and the Internet as well as telecommunication networks. Its modularity all...

In order to perform a useful threat analysis of a web application platform, some architectural assumptions about such applications must be made. This document describes a generic architecture for typical 3-tier web applications. It serves as the basis for analyzing the threats in the most important infrastructural components in that architecture, presented in the following

An object-oriented framework enables both black box reuse and white box reuse in client applications, serving as an important infrastructural building block. We are refactoring framework-based applications to modularize cross-cutting concerns with aspects. In this paper, we explore implementation issues we encountered while creating non-functional aspects in AspectC++ that are pluggable and reu...

PROBLEM The World Health Organization (WHO) developed a guideline with 10 control measures to reduce transmission of A(H5N1) avian influenza virus in markets in low-resource settings. The practical aspects of guide implementation have never been described. APPROACH WHO's guideline was implemented in two Indonesian markets in the city of Makassar to try to reduce transmission of the A(H5N1) vi...
