Tuning of QoS Aware Load Balancing Algorithm (QoS–LB) for Highly Loaded Server Clusters

2001

This paper introduces a novel algorithm for content based switching. A content based scheduling algorithm (QoS Aware Load Balancing Algorithm, QoS-LB) which can be used at the front-end of the server cluster is presented. The front-end switch uses the content information of the requests and the load on the back servers to choose the server to handle each request. At the same time, different Quality of Service (QoS) classes of the customers can be considered as one parameter in the load balancing algorithm. This novel feature becomes more important when service providers begin to offer the same services for customers with different priorities.

On the Influence of PRNGs on Data Distribution

2012

The amount of digital information produced grows rapidly and constantly. Storage systems use clustered architectures designed to store and process this information efficiently. Their use introduces new challenges in storage systems development, like load-balancing and data distribution. A variety of randomized solutions handling data placement issues have been proposed and utilized. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has not yet been a structured analysis of the influence of pseudo random number generators (PRNGs) on the data distribution. In the first part of this paper we consider Consistent Hashing [1] as a combination of two consecutive phases: distribution of bins and distrib…

Istigazione punibile e libertà di parola. Riflessioni in margine alla sentenza De Luca

2016

Il testo prende spunto dalla decisione del Tribunale di Torino, che ha riguardato il noto scrittore Erri De Luca, per chiarire e mettere a punto alcuni profili della teoria dell’istigazione a delinquere e i rapporti di questa con la libertà d’espressione. By commenting on the decision given by the Tribunal of Turin in the case of the renowned writer Erri De Luca, the paper clarifies some controversial aspects of the criminalization of the conduct of public encouragement to crime, as well as its relationships with the right to free speech.

Cloud Infrastructure for Skin Cancer Scalable Detection System

2018

Skin cancer diagnostics is one of the medical areas where early diagnostic allows achieving patients’ high survival rate. Typically, skin cancer diagnostic is performed by dermatologist, since the amount of such specialists is limited, mortality rate is high [1]. By creating the low cost and easy to use diagnostic device, it is possible to bring skin cancer diagnostic to primary care physicians and allow to check much more persons and diagnose skin cancer on the early stages. There are several existing devices, that provide skin cancer diagnostics [2]. Most of them process the skin images locally and have limited diagnostic capabilities; some of them send images to dermatologists for manual…

Diritto di sciopero e servizi pubblici essenziali

2015

The right to strike became a constitutional right in Italy only in 1948, when the Italian Constitution was approved; however it was necessary to wait more than forty years to put this right into effect. Indeed, only in 1990 was Law no. 146, regarding the public services right to strike, approved, and subsequently reformed ten years later, with Law no. 83. The Italian constitutional system the right includes the right to strike as one of many such rights, and it, therefore, has to be balanced with other individual rights, such as the right to free movement or the right access health care. A special body has the task of balancing the right to strike with other constitutional rights, that is t…

An optimized path-selection using airtime metric in OLSR networks: Implementation and testing

2008

Wireless mesh networks used for broadband access may be equipped with multiple Internet gateways. Using airtime metric as the main criterion for path selection is an effective method for achieving load-balancing in such a multi-homed mesh network. In this paper, we describe how the radio-aware path selection using airtime as a metric can be implemented in order to achieve this functionality, based on a modified version of an open source OLSR implementation. The paper presents both the principle of this method, its implementation and the empirical results which focus on testing the airtime metric functionality based on a deployed small-scale test network.

The egoistic approach to parallel process migration into heterogeneous workstation network

1996

Abstract A new approach to the allocation of processes in a distributed system is discussed. The proposed solution deals with process migration into heterogeneous systems by means of a strategy that delegates the individual parallel applications to manage the migration of their processes by themselves, on the basis of their own performance objectives. This approach is discussed in opposition to the global scheduling based one, and the load balancing objective is pursued as an effect of the optimization of individual applications. A new performance evaluation criterion is introduced that consists in monitoring the delays that occur when two parallel processes run towards a common synchroniza…

Il diritto all’oblio tra definizione sostanziale e rimedi di tutela. Riflessioni alla luce della giurisprudenza più re cente della Corte di Cassazion…

2023

The most recent judgements of the Court of Cassation and the Court of Justice of the European Union offer food for thought, to outline the different attitude of the balance between the protection of personal data and the right to information in the digital environment. These rulings in particular point out the reference to de-indexing as a useful remedy for the purpose of balancing opposing interests that does not disproportionately penalize the right to information, according to methods which, after some uncertainties, seem to highlight elements of convergence in the relative protection between the State level and the European level.

Principles, balancing, and the separation between law and morals: on neo-constitutionalism and its critics

2011

En el ensayo Constitucionalismo principialista y constitucionalismo garantista, Luigi Ferrajoli ofrece una oportuna clarificación teórica y conceptual sobre el así llamado neoconstitucionalismo. Por mi parte, en esta contribución intentaré desarrollar algunas observaciones sobre tres puntos acerca de los cuales me encuentro en relativo desacuerdo con el análisis de Ferrajoli: el tratamiento de la distinción entre reglas y principios, la interpretación de la práctica de la ponderación, y el problema de la separación entre Derecho y moral. Además, ofreceré un panorama de los significados del (neo)constitucionalismo, y, respecto a tal panorama, consideraré el modo en el cual Ferrajoli sitúa su…
