This article analyzes and classifies different middleware platforms. A comparison of two popular middleware platforms, CORBA and Web Services (XML-SOAP), is presented. Also, an implementation of MyGrocer project (IST-2000-26239 MyGROCER) mediation service is described, highlighting its distributed architecture.

A plug computer is essentially a cross between an embedded computer and a traditional computer, and with many of the same capabilities. However, the architecture of a plug computer makes it difficult to apply commonly used digital forensic methods. This paper describes methods for extracting and analyzing digital evidence from plug computers. Two popular plug computer models are examined, the S...

This paper describes a hardware implementation of an arithmetic processor which is efficient for elliptic curve (EC) cryptosystems, which are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative for public key cryptosystems based on factoring. The modular multiplication is implemented using a Montgomery modular multiplication in a systolic array architecture, which has the advantage that the clock f...

The back-propagation neural network algorithm is a commonly used method for predicting the secondary structure of proteins. Whilst popular, this method can be slow to learn and here we compare it with an alternative: the cascade-correlation architecture. Using a constructive algorithm, cascade-correlation achieves predictive accuracies comparable to those obtained by back-propagation, in shorte...

An Architecture Description Language (ADL) is a language designed to model a system. They have often graphical as well as plain text syntax. This paper starts with a brief description of ADLs, and then follows an overview of the popular ADLs on the market of today and conferences about ADLs. Finally, a connection to my own research is described. Table of

We review the architecture of massively parallel machines used for lattice QCD simulations and present benchmarks for the performance of popular algorithms on these platforms. We cover commercial supercomputers, PC clusters, and custom-designed machines. We also speculate on future developments. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial...

Handheld and embedded devices are becoming increasingly popular and their uses are more versatile. Applications on these devices often need storing, retrieving and synchronizing data. IBM DB2 Everyplace is a high performance small footprint DBMS that is targeted in this market segment. In this paper, we will describe the overall architecture, features and several design consideration.

gilan architecture, good examples of the coordination and integration with nature, the result of various factors, climatic, social, economic, cultural and ... has the greatest impact on the climate and nature is. it seems the area of architectural materials used to form the overall environment is affected. this architecture should be to identify the impact of climatic factors, construction of b...

Numeric time series data has unique storage requirements and access patterns that can benefit from specialized support, given its importance in Big Data analyses. Popular frameworks and databases focus on addressing other needs, making them a suboptimal fit. This paper describes the support needed for numeric time series, suggests an architecture for efficient time series storage, and illustrat...

A dynamic neural network architecture based on the Time-Delay Neural Network and the Convolutional Neural Network is originated. The dynamic network achieves much better performance than those of MLP and TDNN when dealing with syllable recognition. Such performance is also comparable to that of the more popular HMM method.
