In this paper we are advocating for the development and adoption of mainstream online real-time barcode reading systems that go beyond common current usage scenarios. The goal is to deliver a reliable and accessible alternative to native applications and proprietary readers. As such we analyze resource dependencies and limitations from a fresh and unconventional perspective in relation to the "in-browser" environment. To attain this feat we propose two barcode service delivery systems: the first one, a modular client-oriented detection framework suited for immediate implementation and the second one, a hybrid system designed for complex cloud infrastructures.
Prediction represents an important component of resource management, providing information about the future state, utilization and availability of resources. We propose a new prediction algorithm inspired from the dec...

The Semantic Web is a project and vision of the World Wide Web Consortium to extend the current Web, so that information is given well-defined meaning and structure, enhancing computers and people to work in cooperation. Semantic technologies are being added to enterprise solutions to accommodate new techniques for discovering relationships across different database, business applications and Web services. In this paper, we present an architectural model for a software tool which combines the use of Semantic Web mechanisms with database metadata and data warehousing mechanisms. If the benefits of the Semantic Web concept are combined with a powerful database server, then the information management will be much improved.

Nowadays, we have to deal with a large quantity of unstructured, heterogeneous data, produced by an increasing number of sources. Clustering heterogeneous data is essential to getting structured information in response to user queries. In this paper, we assess the results of a new clustering technique - clustering by compression - when applied to metadata associated with heterogeneous sets of data. The clustering by compression procedure is based on a parameter-free, universal, similarity distance, the normalized compression distance or NCD, computed from the lengths of compressed data files (singly and in pair-wise concatenation). Experimental results show that using metadata could improve the average clustering performances with about 20% over clustering the same sample data set without using metadata.

This paper tries to define mechanisms which insure the right functionality for systems based on the Volunteer Grid concept and propose a new framework for Volunteer Grid computing management. Volunteer Grid systems allow setting up high performance computer networks, easily, rapidly and at low costs, the main characteristic of their nodes being the volunteer participation. Thus, a supercomputer is created, able to perform most complex calculations in a relatively short period of time. This volunteering itself is a weakness of the system, because not only physical faults must be taken into consideration, but also sabotages through which participants could try to increase their rating.

The current trend in processor's design is to add multiple cores to increase the system's overall performance but this is not a solution to increasing the performance of serial applications. Due to its potential to greatly accelerate a wide variety of serial applications, reconfigurable computing has become a subject of a great deal of research. Its key feature is the ability to perform computations in hardware in order to increase performance, while retaining much of the flexibility of a software solution. In this paper, we address the problem of fully automating the process of selecting the code to be used for hardware acceleration. We present a software-hardware partitioning system that transforms Impulse C source code into blocks of C and VHDL code. The resulting C code wiD be run on the CPU, while the VHDL code will be implemented on a reconfigurable hardware, e.g. a FPGA.
