Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) application servers are gaining more and more importance for implementing business-critical applications. For an effective service-level management (SLM), an instrumentation must offer a fine-grained picture of the real system performance. For reasons of efficiency and practicability, the instrumentation has to be performed automatically in order to assure complete and comparable measurements. This paper presents a new approach for an automatic and generic performance instrumentation of EJB applications by instrumenting the EJB server. The approach defines a generic CIM model for EJB applications. From an application developer's point of view, the instrumentation is completely transparent. It is realised using the Java Management Extensions (JMX). The performance measurements are implemented using Application Response Measurement (ARM). The prototype is integrated into a WBEM/CIM object manager.

Research activities for combining portable computer technology and wireless communication technology are in progress to realize mobile computing environments. Among the various strategies necessary for mobile computing environments, the location management strategies are particularly emphasized especially for PCN environments. Location management strategy-for PCN environments, which is mostly based on the IS-41 standards, brings an issue that additional network traffic are generated to deliver update messages to the home location server whenever a mobile host changes its location server. We propose an innovative update strategy and a search strategy that resolves the problem shown in the IS-41 scheme. Also, this paper compares the performance of the proposed scheme with the IS-41-based scheme.

The amount of information on the web is growing rapidly and search engines that rely on keyword matching usually return too many fow quality matches. To improve search results, a challenging task for search engines is how to effectively calculate a relevane ranking for each web page. This paper discusses in what order a search engine should return the URLs it has produced in response to a user's query so as to show more relevant pages first. Emphasis is given on the ranking functions a-dopted by WebGather that take link structure and user popularity factors into account. Bxperimental results are also presented to evaluate the proposed strategy.

A mobile ad-hoc network (Manet) is a system of wireless mobile nodes dynamically self-organizing in arbitrary and temporary network topologies. People and vehicles can thus be internetworked in areas without a pre-existing communication infrastructure, or when the use of such infrastructure requires wireless extension. Therefore, such networks are designed to operate in widely varying environments, from military networks to low-power sensor networks and other embedded systems. Frequent topology changes caused by node mobility make routing in ad hoc wireless networks a challenging problem. We focus upon routing protocols for ad hoc networks. We study and compare the performance of several routing protocols. A variety of workload and scenarios using a variety of mobility, load and size of the ad hoc network were simulated.

The rapid development in portable computing platforms, distributed multimedia systems and wireless communication technologies has led to a significant interest in mobile multimedia and wireless networking. Video entertainment and multimedia Internet access over wireless networks are examples of future wireless personal communication systems. These, however, incur challenging technological issues. The synchronization of the multimedia objects among mobile clients is one of the most important of these issues. The task of synchronization in wireless multimedia systems is to eliminate variations and delays incurred during the transmission of multiple-media streams and to maintain the temporal order among the various media streams. We propose an efficient distributed multimedia synchronization algorithm for wireless and mobile multimedia systems to ensure and facilitate mobile clients' access to multimedia objects. We discuss the algorithm and provide its formal proof and correctness.

Abstract: Data Distribution Management (DDM) is a High Level Architecture/Run-time Infrastructure (HLA/RTI) service that manages the distribution of state updates and interaction information in large scale distributed simulations, limits and controls the volume of data exchanged during the simulation. In this paper we focus upon the following three DDM schemes: Region-Based, Fixed and Dynamic Grid-Based techniques. In an effort to determine the most efficient model for applying the DDM service, we developed a mini-RTI Kit framework and propose a set of benchmarks to compare these DDM schemes. Using the RTI Kit, we performed extensive simulation experiments and present our analysis of the results of numerous federation executions.
