This paper presents a real time graphical simulator based on a client-server architecture. The rendering engine, supported by a specialized client application for the automatic generation of goal oriented motion of synthetic characters, is used to produce realistic image sequences for extensive performance assessment of computer vision algorithms for people tracking.

In this project, we examine HTTP-level duplication. We first report on our initial measurement study, analyzing the amount and types of duplication in the Internet today. We then discuss several opportunities for deduplication: in particular, we implement two versions of a simple server-client architecture that takes advantage of HTML5 client-side storage for value-based caching and deduplication.

An extensible power supply control and monitoring system has been developed at Fermilab’s Technical Division to control and monitor power supplies of various types from within many different applications. This system, deployed as a network service, provides uniform programming and user interfaces for various types of power supplies, ranging from 20A to 30kA. 1 SYSTEM ORGANIZATION The Magnet Tes...

History-keeping has surfaced as a potentially valuable asset to educational and other software. Current research in learning histories considers the hypothesis that providing learners with a readable record of their actions may help them monitor their behavior and reflect on their progress. However, the scope of learning histories goes far beyond the means provided by an undo/redo or document-r...

This paper describes a client–server architecture for the remote control of instrumentation over the Internet network. The proposed solution allows multiuser, multi-instrument sessions by means of a queueing and instrument locking capability. Client applications can be easily developed by using conventional high-level programming languages or well-assessed virtual instrumentation frameworks. Pe...

Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) provides a fully-scalable, distributed, and platform-independent component architecture for development of enterprise software systems while leveraging existing applications. EJB specification provides a server component environment that monitors and modifies the client-server communications to ensure the use of correct thread, security, transaction, and persistence s...

This paper presents a client/server stateless server architecture to implement collaborative data collection by means of several software tools. Each of the tools can be downloaded as needed in an " on demand " fashion. Security and accounting features are supported. An implemented example is shown based on a metric collection problem.

Private access to corporate servers from Internet can be achieved using various security mechanisms. This article presents a network access control mechanism that employs a policy management architecture empowered with dynamic firewalls. With the existence of such an architecture, system and/or network administrators do not need to reconfigure firewalls when there is a location change in user s...

The question of client-side reasoning is crucial to semantic web application design as client performances drastically increase. It is an opportunity for ubiquitous devices to use semantic technologies. In this paper, we propose a lightweight, modular and adaptive architecture developed in JavaScript for hybrid client/server side reasoning. We evaluate the performance of the reasoning process w...
