Server implementations for improving the performance of CAR systems based on mobile phones
2014
Collaborative Augmented Reality (CAR) systems allow multiple users to share a real world environment, including computer-generated images in real time. The hardware features of most current mobile phones include wireless network capabilities that offer a natural platform for CAR systems. However, the potential number of clients in CAR systems based on mobile phones is much larger than on CAR systems based on other kind of mobile devices, requiring a system design that takes into account scalability issues. This paper presents the experimental characterization of CAR systems based on mobile phones, providing quantitative results about well-known performance metrics in distributed systems. Th…

Performance comparison of container orchestration platforms with low cost devices in the fog, assisting Internet of Things applications
2020
Abstract In the last decade there has been an increasing interest and demand on the Internet of Things (IoT) and its applications. But, when a high level of computing and/or real time processing is required for these applications, different problems arise due to their requirements. In this context, low cost autonomous and distributed Small Board Computers (SBC) devices, with processing, storage capabilities and wireless communications can assist these IoT networks. Usually, these SBC devices run an operating system based on Linux. In this scenario, container-based technologies and fog computing are an interesting approach and both have led to a new paradigm in how devices cooperate, improvi…
A novel faster failure detection strategy for link connectivity using Hello messaging in mobile ad hoc networks
2019
Faster failure detection is one of the main steps responsible for efficient link connectivity in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Under a random behaviour of network nodes and link/node failure, th...
Creating a semantically-enhanced cloud services environment through ontology evolution
2014
Currently, the availability of Web resources has grown enormously to the point that whatever a user needs at a given moment can potentially be found on the Internet. These resources are not limited to data items anymore, functionality delivered through some sort of service architectural model is also offered on the Internet. In the last few years, cloud computing has emerged as one of the most popular computing models to provide services over the Internet. However, as the number of available cloud services increases, the problem of service discovery and selection arises. Experience indicates that semantic technologies can provide the basis for enhanced and more precise search processes. In …
Analysis of HMAX Algorithm on Black Bar Image Dataset
2020
An accurate detection and classification of scenes and objects is essential for interacting with the world, both for living beings and for artificial systems. To reproduce this ability, which is so effective in the animal world, numerous computational models have been proposed, frequently based on bioinspired, computational structures. Among these, Hierarchical Max-pooling (HMAX) is probably one of the most important models. HMAX is a recognition model, mimicking the structures and functions of the primate visual cortex. HMAX has already proven its effectiveness and versatility. Nevertheless, its computational structure presents some criticalities, whose impact on the results has never been…
Fronteras por definir, descontento creciente, alianzas inestables y amenazas externas: la Unión Europea y su tormenta perfecta
2018
espanolLa Union Europea se halla en una crisis existencial tan evidente que incluso politicos y analistas con antecedentes ideologicos diametralmente opues-tos han acabado coincidiendo en su diagnostico, y en la necesidad urgente de una terapia de choque que detenga lo que parece una carrera hacia la destruccion del proyecto europeo. El proposito del presente ensayo es pasar revista —aun al precio de tener que ser extraordinariamente sintetico en su abordaje— a los problemas que han sumido a la Union Europea en la mas grave crisis de su ya larga historia. Problemas que en todo caso son susceptibles de agruparse en cuatro grandes rubros: los que han ralentizado y hasta invertido el proceso d…

Ensuring the performance and scalability of peer-to-peer distributed virtual environments
2010
Large scale distributed virtual environments (DVEs) have become a major trend in distributed applications. Peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures have been proposed as an efficient and truly scalable solution for these kinds of systems. However, in order to design efficient P2P DVEs these systems must be characterized, measuring the impact of different client behavior on system performance. This paper presents the experimental characterization of P2P DVEs. The results show that the saturation of a given client has an exclusive effect on the surrounding clients in the virtual world, having no noticeable effect at all on the rest of clients. Nevertheless, the interactions among clients that can tak…
