As the Internet has grown, and as systems and networked services within enterprises have become more pervasive, many services with high availability requirements have emerged. These requirements have increased the demands on the reliability of the infrastructure on which those services rely. Various techniques have been employed to increase the availability of services deployed on the Internet....

Data-intensive distributed file systems are emerging as a key component of large scale Internet services and cloud computing platforms. They are designed from the ground up and are tuned for specific application workloads. Leading examples, such as the Google File System, Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS) and Amazon S3, are defining this new purpose-built paradigm. It is tempting to classif...

controlling the internet has for a long time been the privilege of academics in the usa. however, with the evolution of the internet as the world communication medium of the 21 st century and the world-wide-web providing the infrastructure for business and public services in the digital era, the stakes have risen dramatically. the value of the internet is nowadays considered extremely important...

The Internet of Services promotes distributable, composable and tradeable services as first-class entities. Such services are assumed to encompass the full range from electronic web services to conventional business services. However, research and development of service models and platforms to realise the Internet of Services vision has largely been concentrating on pure technical services. In ...

The main goal of this paper is to present the architecture and functionality of e-Service based platform. The project is structured along several dimensions that follow the development of complementary services, integrated to support everyday work experience, research and learning in the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest (UPB). The platform support is represented by Internet as a large scale ...

Recent studies show that much of Electronic Commerce activities will be conducted via the Internet, such activities encompassing business-business as well as client-business and administration-business relationships. However, the Internet has not been designed to support such activities and it lacks many features, as Quality of Service requirements or Charging and Accounting facilities. At the ...

A vast quantitative growth of the Internet over the past years has fertilized “desktop” information society technologies, the most prominent instance of which is the personal computer. The growing availability of wireless communication technologies in the wide, local and personal area, together with the pervasive use of mobile and embedded computing devices gives strong raise, however, for Inte...

In this paper we provide an estimation of the net satellite capacity needed to reliably offer In-Flight Internet services to aircraft flying in the North-Atlantic region. For this work we took into account the expected dynamic usage of AirCom (Aeronautical Communications) Internet services, the average aircraft’ cabin configurations and the characteristics of the North Atlantic routes. INTRODUC...
