Remote instrumentation and measurement has always been an attractive area to researchers. Studies on grid-enabled instrumentation system have turned many instruments into resources similar to the computing and storage element. However, the advent of cloud computing further inspires the idea of instrumentation service provision rather than resources. Upon this philosophy, this paper proposes an architecture for instrumentation cloud aiming at guiding the development of the unified platform for remote instrumentation resources management and service provision. The design of the architecture is based on the analysis of requirements for future remote instrumentation system. Then, the use case and related activities of the instrumentation cloud system are derived. The detailed architecture and related function modules are designed according to previous system modeling. Finally a discussion is presented to analyze the potential problems that may encounter in developing the instrumentation cloud. However, most of them are just technique issues and can be solved once technology improves. The proposed architecture is a good guide for future development of on-cloud instrumentation system.

Even though public cloud providers already exist and offer computing and storage services, cloud computing is still a buzzword for scientists in various fields such as engineering, finance, social sciences, etc. These technologies are currently mature enough to leave the experimental laboratory in order to be used in real-life scenarios. To this end, the authors consider that the prime example use case of cloud computing is a web hosting service. This paper presents the architectural approach as well as the technical solution for applying elastic web hosting onto a private cloud infrastructure using only free software. Through several available software applications and tools, anyone can build their own private cloud on top of a local infrastructure and benefit from the dynamicity and scalability provided by the cloud approach.

Minority Ethnic

This article looks at the political and conceptual process of trust drawing on a research project exploring the experiences of people who speak little English and thus need interpreters in order to access services. We examine posited solidarity/diversity tensions in the politicisation of notions of general social trust, and debates about the process of trust, including distinctions between abstract and personal trust, the role of familiarity, and the concept of ‘active trust’, as well as challenges to the functional link between interpretation and expectation in trust. We address the increasing professionalisation of interpreting service provision based on abstract trust, and use case studies to illustrate the complexity of the articulation of trust in interpreters, often involving personal trust, as well as strategies for managing distrust. We conclude that, while trust may be a personal praxis, it takes place in a particular socio-political context that involves asymmetrical relations that focus on particular, minority ethnic, groups.

Industrial demand has changed and present increasingly demanding requirements. Companies need to evolve and innovate to be able to go along and fulfill its customers requirements. Currently, major players have the capacity, resources and money, to install the most innovate and expensive machines, tools and devices on its shop-floor. SMEs on its side, face several challenges to manage its limited resources. SME aims to maximize the usage of the available resources to continue its activity and if possible to grow. The usage of low-cost IoT devices allow companies to monitor the usage of its resources and the quality of its products without the need to made a huge investment that wouldn’t be affordable for them. The results presented were a result of the C2NET Project that was designed to comprehensively cover the entire supply chain considering all stages of manufacturing, distribution and sales to supply a product to market. The results achieved were able to fulfill specific needs of the industrial partners of the project, and were validated by 6 companies from Automative, DermoCosmetics, Metalworking and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Industries from Spain, France, Portugal and Finland.[1] A Metalworking SME was used as an use case due to its complexity and diversity, although most of the achievements can be replicated in other industries, even the more traditional ones.

It is hard to model a complex system by simply combining its partial characteristics. This paper presents a multi-view collaborative modeling method for complex system. Multi users, multi subjects, multi granularities and multi models in complex system modeling are unified to multi views. The principles and schemes for the decomposition of complex systems are introduced. According to the principle of separation of concerns, a complex system can be decomposed to a variety of model views. Collaborative modeling means that the views can be associated and integrated to form complete system model through their semantic. According to the form of representation, the models are generalizes to three kinds, i.e., view models, semantic models and storage models, which provides a unified framework for conversion and mapping between the models. Under the guidance of the method, a tool for the modeling of warship C2 system is developed. Applications show that the tool can support collaborative modeling and design for C2 system outstandingly.

Attack And Defense

We propose an integrated design method to Network attack and defense Simulation training system. Firstly, taking the actual network attack and defense subjects as materials, establishes the system-related military scenario and models several use cases from the perspective of system resources and user needs. Then, using these use cases plans every system components (federate members) in terms of the distributed framework of HLA. More importantly, the workflow of a typical use case according to the publish/subscribe relationship among federate members is described. Associated with this use case, the structure (and behavior) model, internal/external class and program points of the system are modeled, defined and designed respectively. Finally, the expansibility of the system is described in detail. This method can accurately grasp the properties, functions, behaviors and other characteristics of system members (objects) and improve the rationality and consistency of the simulation system modeling.

The low water availability in several regions of southeastern Hellas and particularly in several islands, such as Crete, has resulted in the construction of various types of water reservoir for collection and storage of rainwater, since their very early habitation. Since then, technologies for the construction and use of several types of cisterns have been developed. In Crete during the Minoan era, water cisterns were very well practiced as a basic means for water supply in several settlements. The Minoan water cistern technologies were further developed, mainly by enlargement of the scale of water systems, at subsequent stages of the Hellenic civilizations. Furthermore, more advanced water cistern technologies were invented, with a peak during the Hellenistic period which followed Alexander the Great, during which time they spread over a geographical area from Hellas to the west and to the east. The Romans inherited the cistern technologies and further developed them mainly by changing their application scale from small to large. Characteristic paradigms of Cretan cisterns are considered which justify the significance of that technology for water supply in areas with low water availability during the whole Cretan history. Herein, nowadays climatic conditions and water resources management in Crete are presented and discussed.

The Internet Of Things

Recently blockchain technology has been advocated as a solution fitting many different problems in several applicative fields; among these fields there is the Internet of Things (IoT) too. In this paper we show the most significant properties of a blockchain, how they suite the use case of a cryptocurrency and how they map onto the needs of IoT systems. We claim that a blockchain does not provide a significant advantage with respect to other database technologies in a field such as Internet of Things where computational power comes at a premium, energy is often scarce and storage scalability is a major challenge.
