Cloud Computing is an attractive paradigm for organisations that have a requirement to process large scalable distributed applications. It allows for self-provisioning of cloud resources to develop and host applications as well as acquire storage and networking resources. Connected Government (c-government) is an area where cloud technologies can be effectively used to achieve the benefits that the cloud paradigm promises. Social Media, Web 2.0 and mobile technologies can all help to further enhance the connected government capabilities. Using such technologies, governments and citizens can engage in real time in the electronic participation of a government's functioning. In this chapter, we introduce the cloud paradigm and then discussing the requirements of c-government, we outline how cloud technologies can help to achieve an open and transparent c-government. The aim is to provide the basics of relationship between c-government and cloud computing to set the scene for other contributions in this volume.

The reliable operation of product transfers in pipelines is essential to the economic results of a pipeline company. This operation heavily depends on calculations performed over real time raw and historical data to assure the expected level of confidence in the operational results. This paper describes the development of a software environment, SUPDUT (abbreviation for the portuguese term Supervisor de Oleodutos, or Pipeline Supervisor), to be used in the development, organization, execution and maintenance of operational applications and to support their communication with other corporate and basic real time systems (SCADA). Application in this context means all kinds of operational or corporate calculations that require information from SCADA. The main advantage of the SUPDUT architecture is that it simplifies the application development and maintenance process, by providing a server that deals with all the complexity related to SCADA communication and application scheduling. The application developer therefore does not need to be concerned with those issues. It also makes the application development independent from the SCADA that collects real time data. The environment is designed to facilitate a simple and rapid implementation of new applications with a minimal impact on the system. Other important SUPDUT environment features are: complete object-oriented design, planned support for distributed applications and reliable application scheduling, support for a wide range of application scheduling options, support for multiple SCADA, support for multiple languages for application development (FORTRAN, C, C++ and Java) and robustness to the addition of new applications. The SUPDUT environment requirements definition and design are completed, and it is in its coding phase as this paper is being written. The first production version of the software is expected to be delivered by the end of 2002.

Campus Activities

The study of image processing in today’s world and the booming possibility of building a smart classroom and a smarter campus with the help of aided vigilance and surveillance is slowly moving from a thought that can be considered for the future to an actual real-world implementation. In modern day schools and university campuses there is an increasing demand for a real-time monitoring and quick responding database that tracks the student activities. This is not always required but serves as a one-click system that handles average information searches and returns the list of fast action options that are available in tracking the campus activities that come in the purview of its span. In a diverse educational campus comprising of several branches and streams that share a single campus, there is a possible chance of intrusion and unauthorized entry which may lead to undesirable and unnecessary loss of intellectual property and manipulation of identity. In a particular academic unit, there would be a surveillance system that monitors and tracks these activities and offers to its privileged users a response in real-time. It can also be used to track the attendance of students in an automated fashion which leads to a digitized and paperless approach. It can be said that this will be implemented in its entirety to a campus unit. Face identification is an essential step in face recognition, in which one of the typical of a class and authoritative application in visual sensor network. Visual perception is one of the physical measurements based on secured features. Face identification is a demanding assignment, because it has to scan and match against a library of known faces. E.g. lighting condition, different posture, various kind of body languages.

Performance Issues

In recent years, a large number of populations are dependent on mobile database technology and it is difficult for us to imagine our lifestyle in absence of database. Today’s portable handy mobile devices take part in emerging new technology for sharing distributed applications or/ and information between many users even on the move (from one network to another). To manage this resulting large Volume of data in a wireless environment with time constraints such as deadline making it the fertile land of research for researchers. Fast transaction processing in many industrial applications is needed efficient algorithm and protocols in the field of mobile distributed real-time database (MDRTDBS). Transaction execution in a mobile environment has various interesting research issues like low bandwidth, storage capacity, power backup, priority scheduling policy, and concurrency and commits protocols, security, check-pointing etc. At first in our paper, we address performance issues that are important to MDRTDBS and then survey the various researches that have been done so far. In fact, this paper provides ground knowledge for addressing the performance issues important for mobile distributed real-time database and somehow helping to find out the future area of research in the field of MDRTDBS.

Wide Availability

General-Purpose Operating Systems (GPOSes) are being used more and more extensively to support interactive, real-time, and distributed applications, as found in the multimedia domain. In fact, the wide availability of supported multimedia devices and protocols, together with the wide availability of libraries and tools for handling multimedia contents, make them an almost ideal platform for the development of this kind of complex applications. However, contrarily to Real-Time Operating Systems, General-Purpose ones used to lack some important functionality needed for providing proper scheduling guarantees to application processes. Recently, the increasing use of GPOSes for multimedia applications is gradually pushing OS developers towards enriching the kernel of a GPOS so as to provide more and more real-time functionality, thus enhancing the performance and responsiveness of hosted time-sensitive applications. In this chapter, an overview is performed over the efforts done in the direction of enriching GPOSes with real-time capabilities, with a particular focus on the Linux OS. Due to its open-source nature and wide diffusion and availability, Linux is one of the most widely used OSes for such experimentations.
