A system structure for adaptive mobile applications is introduced and discussed, together with a compliant architecture and a prototypic implementation. A methodology is also introduced, which exploits our structure to decompose the…
Wireless data communications in form of Short Message Service (SMS) and Wireless Access Protocols (WAP) browsers have gained global popularity, yet, not much has been done to extend the usage of these devices in electronic learning…
In the field of computational science and engineering, workflows often entail the application of various software, for instance, for simulation or pre- and postprocessing. Typically, these components have to be combined in arbitrarily…
[Context] The adoption of micro-frontends architectures has gained traction as a promising approach to enhance modularity, scalability, and maintainability of web applications. [Goal] The primary aim of this research is to investigate the…
The metadata service (MDS) sits on the critical path for distributed file system (DFS) operations, and therefore it is key to the overall performance of a large-scale DFS. Common "serverful" MDS architectures, such as a single server or…
Nowadays, storage systems are increasingly subject to attacks. So the security system is quickly becoming mendatory feature of the data storage systems. For the security purpose we are always dependent on the cryptography techniques. These…
Trusting simulation output is crucial for Sandia's mission objectives. We rely on these simulations to perform our high-consequence mission tasks given national treaty obligations. Other science and modeling applications, while they may…
The problem of capillary transport in fibrous porous materials at low levels of liquid saturation has been addressed. It has been demonstrated, that the process of liquid spreading in this type of porous materials at low saturation can be…
Virtual file systems are a tool to centralize and mobilize a file system that could otherwise be complex and consist of multiple hierarchies, hard disks, and more. In this paper, we discuss the design of Unix-based file systems and how this…
The data warehousing and OLAP technologies are now moving onto handling complex data that mostly originate from the Web. However, intagrating such data into a decision-support process requires their representation under a form processable…
The Rocker Project provides widely used Docker images for R across different application scenarios. This article surveys downstream projects that build upon the Rocker Project images and presents the current state of R packages for managing…
Over the past few decades, the amount of scientific articles and technical literature has increased exponentially in size. Consequently, there is a great need for systems that can ingest these documents at scale and make the contained…
We present the results of a feasibility study using shared, existing, network-accessible infrastructure for repository replication. We investigate how dissemination of repository contents can be ``piggybacked'' on top of existing email and…
Computer applications seeking to persist files remotely across the Internet are faced with a bewildering choice of mechanisms which tend to boil down to monolithic proprietary closed-source Vendor solutions. We introduce The Mikado…
Data access is key to science driven by distributed high-throughput computing (DHTC), an essential technology for many major research projects such as High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. However, achieving efficient data access becomes…
Data-intensive applications often require exploratory analysis of large datasets. If analysis is performed on distributed resources, data locality can be crucial to high throughput and performance. We propose a "data diffusion" approach…
Mobile data traffic is growing exponentially and it is even more challenging to distribute content efficiently while users are "on the move" such as in public transport.The use of mobile devices for accessing content (e.g. videos) while…
Web applications require access to the file-system for many different tasks. When analyzing the security of a web application, secu- rity analysts should thus consider the impact that file-system operations have on the security of the whole…
The broad development and usage of edge devices has highlighted the importance of creating resilient and computationally advanced environments. When working with edge devices these desiderata are usually achieved through replication and…
Caching at mobile devices and leveraging device-to-device (D2D) communication are two promising approaches to support massive content delivery over wireless networks. The analysis of such D2D caching networks based on a physical…
