The WFCC-MIRCEN World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM) was set up more than 30 years ago as a data center of the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC). It published the World Directory of Collections of Cultures of Microorganisms when it was established and now provides a portal site for microbial resource centers and their customers by fully utilizing Internet technology. This p...

Controlled and efficient power consumption is a challenge faced daily by small, medium, and large data center (DC) administrators. Specialized and technical literature defines several guides, equipment, and mechanisms for this purpose. However, the combined application of these solutions is a complex task, which in several cases implies on high financial investment. In this context, we present ...

Traditional datacenters are designed as a collection of servers, each of which tightly couples the resources required for computing tasks. Recent industry trends suggest a paradigm shift to a disaggregated datacenter (DDC) architecture containing a pool of resources, each built as a standalone resource blade and interconnected using a network fabric. A key enabling (or blocking) factor for disa...

Many real world applications depend on modeling the temporal dynamics of streams of diverse events, many of which are rare. We introduce a novel model class, Conjoint Piecewise-Constant Conditional Intensity Models, and a learning algorithm that together yield a data-driven approach to parameter sharing with the aim of better modeling such event streams. We empirically demonstrate that our appr...
