This mini-review discusses the current state of experimental and computational microbial consortia engineering with a focus on cellular factories. A discussion of promising ecological theories central to community resource usage is presented to facilitate interpretation of consortial designs. Recent case studies exemplifying different resource usage motifs and consortial assembly templates are ...

This study discusses the utilization of three types of relationships in performing data replication. As grid computing offers the ability of sharing huge amount of resources, resource availability is an important issue to be addressed. The undertaken approach combines the viewpoint of user, system and the grid itself in ensuring resource availability. The realization of the proposed strategy is...

Dr. Tim R. Norton Simalytic Solutions, LLC CMG 2008 Paper 8199 System Virtualization allows multiple O/S images to execute on a single physical host computer. Measuring the host resource usage is straightforward, and the necessary tools are included with most virtualization environments. Complexities introduced by the different virtualization techniques create problems with measurements within ...

Network-on-chip-based multiprocessor systems-onchip are considered as future embedded systems platforms. One of the steps in mapping an application onto such a parallel platform involves scheduling the communication on the network-onchip. This paper presents different scheduling strategies that minimize resource usage by exploiting all scheduling freedom offered by networks-on-chip. It also int...

Monitoring and mining real-time network data streams is crucial for managing and operating data networks. The information that network operators desire to extract from the network traffic is of different size, granularity and accuracy depending on the measurement task (e.g., relevant data for capacity planning and intrusion detection are very different). To satisfy these different demands, a ne...

Cloud computing has emerged as a new paradigm for accessing distributed computing resources such as infrastructure, hardware platform, and software applications on-demand over the internet as services. This paper presents an optimal resource management framework for multi-cloud computing environment. The authors model the behavior and performance of applications to integrate different service-p...

Microsoft’s Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) is a workload management tool included with Windows Server 2003 Enterprise or Datacenter. Administrators can use WSRM to control how CPU and memory are shared among competing processes. WSRM is typically used to normalize consolidated workloads (reducing the risk that a misbehaving application will interfere with others on the system), or to en...

This paper addresses several aspects related to the distribution of content. The first aim is to provide an overview of the Universal Multimedia Access (UMA) concept. The primary function of UMA services is to provide the best Quality of Service (QoS) or User experience by either selecting/adapting the content format to meet the playback environment, or adapting the content playback environment...

In shared resource environments, usage data is necessary to identify utilization of the infrastructure by users. Many cloud platforms recently started to collect measurements for use of resources that can be applied to billing and monitoring. Understanding utilization and performance through these measurements is crucial in the infrastructure in order to provide better cloud provisioning, syste...

Data mining approaches have been widely applied in the field of healthcare. Patient Medical Records contains vast clinical informations about patient conditions along with treatment and its procedure .Systematic healthcare utilization analysis use these observational datas to guide resource planning and improve the quality of care delivery while reducing cost. Here present a framework for utili...
