Enterprises are increasingly deploying their applications in the cloud given the cost-saving advantages and the potential to geo-distribute applications to ensure resilience and better service experience. Most of the enterprise applications have stringent latency constraints for better user experience or by business requirements. One of the fundamental challenges in the deployment of such geo-d...

The widely discussed scientific data deluge creates not only a need to computationally scale an application from a local desktop or cluster to a supercomputer, but also the need to cope with variable data loads over time. Cloud computing offers a scalable, economic, on-demand model well matched to the evolving eScience needs. Yet cloud computing creates gaps that must be crossed to move science...

Microsoft StreamInsight is a platform for developing and deploying streaming applications. StreamInsight embraces a temporal stream model to unify and further enrich query language features, handle imperfections in event delivery and define consistency guarantees on the output. With its extensibility framework, StreamInsight enables developers to integrate their domain expertise within the quer...

This study focuses on the understanding of the interaction of phenothiazinium dyes methylene blue (MB), new methylene blue (NMB), azure A (AZA) and azure B (AZB) with tRNAPhe with particular emphasis on deciphering the mode and energetics of the binding. Strong intercalative binding to tRNAPhe was observed for MB, NMB and AZB, bound by a partial intercalative mode. AZA has shown groove binding ...

Many vendors are offering computing services on subscription basis via Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model. Users can acquire resources from different providers and get the best of each of them to run their applications. However, deploying applications in multi-cloud environments is a complex task. Therefore, application platforms are needed to help developers to succeed. Aneka is one such...

The objective of this paper is to ascertain contemporary Italian linguistic categorization of the macro-color concept BLUE, and compare the results to English interpretation of the same tasks. Native Italian speakers affirm that they habitually use three blue color terms: blu, azzurro, and celeste; often idealizing azzurro over blu, as being “more Italian”. I propose that according to the task ...

Public cloud computing environments, such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and the Google Cloud Platform, have achieved remarkable improvements in computational performance recent years are also expected to be able perform massively parallel computing. As enables users use thousands of CPU cores GPU accelerators casually, various software types can used very easily by images, is beginni...

Since digital data repositories are more and more massive and distributed, we need smart data analysis techniques and scalable architectures to extract useful information from them in reduced time. Cloud computing infrastructures offer an effective support for addressing both the computational and data storage needs of big data mining applications. In fact, complex data mining tasks involve dat...
