Aspergillus Genomes is a public resource for viewing annotated genes predicted by various Aspergillus sequencing projects. It has arisen from the union of two significant resources: the Aspergillus/Aspergillosis website and the Central Aspergillus Data REpository (CADRE). The former has primarily served the medical community, providing information about Aspergillus and associated diseases to me...

The 4G mobile system is a collection of radio networks providing access to IP based services. It ensures seamless roaming and users are always connected to the best network providing QoS (Quality of Service) to the end user. The mechanism of switching to a different network is termed as vertical handoff. In this paper we propose a vertical handoff management architecture which ensures efficient...

In this paper we propose a Lightweight Encryption Mechanism based on the Rabbit stream cipher for providing confidentiality in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) that fulfils both requirements of security as well as energy efficiency. Our proposed security protocol is an idea for resource constrained WSNs, and can be widely used in the applications of secure communication where the communication n...

Achieving fair resource sharing is rapidly becoming an essential requirement in cluster computing systems. Although many fair scheduling algorithms have been proposed in recent decades, controlling resource sharing among jobs on servers remains a challenging problem that, if not handled well, may result in chaotic resource contention and service-level agreement violation of jobs. To address thi...

Wireless communication networks are facing a paradigm shift. New generations of cellular and ad hoc networks are finding new application areas, be it in commercial communication, for military use or disaster management. From providing only voice communications, wireless networks aim to provide a wide range of services in which soft real-time, high priority critical data, and best effort connect...

Océano is management software for a eUtility infrastructure capable of providing cost-effective, autonomic resource allocation for multiple customer or application domains, in response to existent performance and availability conditions. The Control Layer of Océano provides mechanisms to manage resources. This layer consists of a resource director and a set of resource managers. The resource di...

The resource space model (RSM) is a model for organizing versatile resources in normal forms and providing uniform resource management operations. In applications, we find three important factors that influence the effectiveness of organizing and operating resources: natural semantics of resources, resource providers’ beliefs, and resource users’ beliefs. The relationship between the three fact...

We describe a decision-theoretic approach to providing user oriented and resource-adapted navigation instructions within buildings. Although information is broadcast by infrared senders in a unidirectional manner, we found it possible to treat the problem of assigning each sender both a user-oriented and resource-adapted broadcast program as a fully observable Markov decision problem.

Cloud Computing has changed the strategy of the way of providing different services to business and government agent as well as to sole users. Cloud Computing provides scalable and on demand services to users irrespective of their physical area. But this computing technology has many challenges. One of them is on demand resource allocation. In this paper a resource allocation method is proposed...

Studies of copy number variation (genomic imbalance) are providing insight into both complex and Mendelian genetic disorders. Array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH), a tool for detecting copy number variants at a resolution previously unattainable in clinical diagnostics, is increasingly used as a first-line test at clinical genetics laboratories. Many copy number variants are of u...
