Cloud computing is a computational paradigm in which resources such as storage, applications and networking infrastructures can be offered as services over the internet. Due to dynamic and virtualized nature of cloud environments and diversity of client requests, providing the expected service quality while avoiding over-provisioning is not a simple task. To ensure that the provisioned service is acceptable, providers must exploit techniques and mechanisms that guarantee a minimum level of service quality. This performance evaluation of cloud infrastructures has been receiving considerable attention by providers as a prominent activity for improving service quality. This paper presents a modeling strategy for cloud infrastructure planning with different software and hardware configurations, according to performance and cost requirements. A case study based on Moodle hosted on Eucalyptus platform is adopted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed modeling strategy.

Open source software is commonly portrayed as a meritocracy, where decisions are based solely on their technical merit. However, literature on open source suggests a complex social structure underlying the meritocracy. Social work environments such as GitHub make the relationships between users and between users and work artifacts transparent. This transparency enables developers to better use information such as technical value and social connections when making work decisions. We present a study on open source software contribution in GitHub that focuses on the task of evaluating pull requests, which are one of the primary methods for contributing code in GitHub. We analyzed the association of various technical and social measures with the likelihood of contribution acceptance. We found that project managers made use of information signaling both good technical contribution practices for a pull request and the strength of the social connection between the submitter and project manager when evaluating pull requests. Pull requests with many comments were much less likely to be accepted, moderated by the submitter's prior interaction in the project. Well-established projects were more conservative in accepting pull requests. These findings provide evidence that developers use both technical and social information when evaluating potential contributions to open source software projects.

Regression is one of the approach/technology of machine learning. This technology is used in a situation where we want to estimate from input parameters the scalar quantity. In practice we often face with situation where due to deficient computing resources, we are not able to train required function (in sense the minimum error). This phenomenon can cause a various factors (e.g. large number of training data, high degree of training function ...). An interesting question is: how helpful is cloud computing in this situation.

Recently, several proposals towards a cloud modeling language have emerged. As they address the diversity of cloud environments, it is not surprising that these modeling languages support different scenarios. Using a by-example approach based on the scenario of software migration, we demonstrate their representational capabilities and review them according to characteristics common to all modeling languages as well as specific to the cloud computing domain. We report on our findings and present research guidelines for future efforts towards a better alignment of the different cloud modeling languages.

In this work, we apply the PD-type iterative learning control method to address the traffic density control problem in a microscopic level freeway environment with ramp metering. Here the traffic density control problem is an output tracking problem with an appropriate tracking objective. In order to verify the effectiveness of proposed method, we perform comparison experiments on the microscopic traffic simulation platform Paramics, and PD-type iterative learning control exhibits an excellent control performance in the experiments.

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) is a variant of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) in which communication nodes are mainly vehicles. VANETs are heterogeneous networks which provide wireless communication among vehicles and vehicle to Road Side Units (RSU). Now-a-days, it has become an interesting area of research as it is intended to improve Intelligent Transport System (ITS). To exploit effective communication among vehicles, routing is the key factor which needs to be investigated. This paper intends to analyze the performance of AODV routing protocol in a VANET in various scenarios under different traffic conditions with respect to Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and Average End-to-End Delay (E2ED). Simulation is performed using NS-2.35 in combination with VanetMobiSim. It has been found that AODV performs better in urban scenario than in highway scenario in terms of PDR and E2ED. It has also been found that the performance of AODV is improved by using ieee 802.11p instead of ieee 802.11.

SmartLife ecosystems are emerging as intelligent user-centered systems that will shape future trends in technology and communication. Biological metaphors of living adaptable ecosystems provide the logical foundation for self-optimizing and self-healing run-time environments for intelligent adaptable business services and related information systems with service-oriented enterprise architectures. The present research in progress work investigates mechanisms for adaptable enterprise architectures for the development of service-oriented ecosystems with integrated technologies like Semantic Technologies, Web Services, Cloud computing and Big Data Management. With a large and diverse set of ecosystem services with different owners, our scenario of service-based SmartLife ecosystems can pose challenges in their development, and more importantly, for maintenance and software evolution. Our research explores the use of knowledge modeling using ontologies and flexible metamodels for adaptable enterprise architectures to support program comprehension for software engineers during maintenance and evolution tasks of service-based applications. Our previous reference enterprise architecture model ESARC -- Enterprise Services Architecture Reference Cube -- and the Open Group SOA Ontology was extended to support agile semantic analysis, program comprehension and software evolution for a SmartLife applications scenario. The Semantic Browser is a semantic search tool that was developed to provide knowledge-enhanced investigation capabilities for service-oriented applications and their architectures.

In order toreduce angle error of satcom station on the metrical vessel, Kalman filter is used tofilter angle-error signals in servosystem of satcom station in this paper. Angle-error signal is frequently corrupted by random noise. Kalman filter based on Singer model, which is a kind of linear minimum variance estimation, is a good tool for denoising the angle-error signal in servosystem. Experimental results on application display that Kalman filter can reduce random noise of the angle-error signal effectively and thus improving tracking precision of satcom station on the vessel.

Evaluation is an essential step for decision making. This paper proposes a hybrid approach, named PCNP-BN, which combines the Primitive Cognitive Network Process(PCNP) and the Bayesian Network(BN) for evaluation activities. PCNP, which is an ideal alternative of the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP), helps toquantify the influence of factors, whilst Bayesian network is utilized tocombine all the useful feedbacks. The proposed approach can support evaluation activities through quantifying complex factors intomeasurable values.
