Book Architecture and Optimization for a Peer to peer Content Management System

Download or read book Architecture and Optimization for a Peer to peer Content Management System written by Dion Miguel Edge and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis will explore the design and optimization of a peer-to-peer network application as a solution to complex content management problems. Currently, most content management systems are expensive, cumbersome and inflexible custom solutions that require knowledge workers to change their work habits. Peer-to-peer offers a uniquely decentralized and, potentially, scalable solution for knowledge workers by providing a simple and visual tool for file management, meta-data description and collaboration. This thesis will reference a client beta designed and developed by the author. Additionally, this thesis will address the need for content management solutions, the state of current solutions and a requirements document for a solution. Subsequently, the thesis will explore the design aspects of a peer-to-peer content management solution. As well as designing and developing a P2P client as proof of concept, this thesis will mathematically explore the implications of scaling the client to many users and methods to optimize performance. The last few chapters will cover the implementation of the client, proposed next steps for development and analysis of alternative architectures.

Book Architecture and Methods for Flexible Content Management in Peer to Peer Systems

Download or read book Architecture and Methods for Flexible Content Management in Peer to Peer Systems written by Udo Bartlang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At times when the IT manager’s best friend is systems consolidation (which is a euphemism for centralisation), it may come somewhat as a surprise for you that this book investigates decentralisation in the context of content management systems. It may seem quite obvious that content will and should be managed by the party who creates and owns the content, and hence should be held in a—somewhat—centralised and managed location. However, over the past few years, we have been witnesses of some important trends and developments which call for novel ways of thinking about content management and maybe even broader, about computer systems in general. First, ongoing business globalization creates natural distribution of information at a corp- ate level, as well as decentralization of control over business resources and business processes. Changing alliances with partners require ?exible architectures for content management that canadapttochangingconstellations, roles, andaccessrights. Second, theneedforoutsourcing and resource e?ciency has brought about concepts of virtualization, recently culminating in the cloud computing buzzword. Virtualization of content management services requires - tremely scalable and ?exible underlying information and communication architectures. These kinds of solutions are theoretically and practically impossible to implement based on c- tralised client-server architectures. Third, we are currently experiencing a dramatic shift in the roles of consumers in the Internet. The times have gone when quality content was only delivered by publishers and news agencies. Wikis and other Web 2. 0 tools empower consumers to produce and publish their personal content.

Download or read book Pervasive Computing written by Aboul-Ella Hassanien and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of pervasive computing systems is to create environments where computers become invisible by being seamlessly integrated and connected into our everyday environment, where such embedded computers can then provide inf- mation and exercise intelligent control when needed, but without being obtrusive. Pervasive computing and intelligent multimedia technologies are becoming incre- ingly important to the modern way of living. However, many of their potential applications have not yet been fully realized. Intelligent multimedia allows dynamic selection, composition and presentation of the most appropriate multimedia content based on user preferences. A variety of applications of pervasive computing and - telligent multimedia are being developed for all walks of personal and business life. Pervasive computing (often synonymously called ubiquitous computing, palpable computing or ambient intelligence) is an emerging ?eld of research that brings in revolutionary paradigms for computing models in the 21st century. Pervasive c- puting is the trend towards increasingly ubiquitous connected computing devices in the environment, a trend being brought about by a convergence of advanced el- tronic – and particularly, wireless – technologies and the Internet. Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications and information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia mobile devices – such as laptops, iPods, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and cellular telephones – have further stimulated the development of intelligent pervasive multimedia applications. These key te- nologiesarecreatingamultimediarevolutionthatwillhavesigni?cantimpactacross a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare and governmental domains.

Book Semantic Technologies in Content Management Systems

Download or read book Semantic Technologies in Content Management Systems written by Wolfgang Maass and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-04 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Content Management Systems (CMSs) are used in almost every industry by millions of end-user organizations. In contrast to the 90s, they are no longer used as isolated applications in one organization but they support critical core operations in business ecosystems. Content management today is more interactive and more integrative: interactive because end-users are increasingly content creators themselves and integrative because content elements can be embedded into various other applications. The authors of this book investigate how Semantic Technologies can increase interactivity and integration capabilities of CMSs and discuss their business value to millions of end-user organizations. This book has therefore the objective, to reflect existing applications as well as to discuss and present new applications for CMSs that use Semantic Technologies. An evaluation of 27 CMSs concludes this book and provides a basis for IT executives that plan to adopt or replace a CMS in the near future.

Book Semantic Web and Peer to Peer

Download or read book Semantic Web and Peer to Peer written by Steffen Staab and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-02 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just like the industrial society of the last century depended on natural resources, today’s society depends on information and its exchange. Staab and Stuckenschmidt structured the selected contributions into four parts: Part I, "Data Storage and Access", prepares the semantic foundation, i.e. data modelling and querying in a flexible and yet scalable manner. These foundations allow for dealing with the organization of information at the individual peers. Part II, "Querying the Network", considers the routing of queries, as well as continuous queries and personalized queries under the conditions of the permanently changing topological structure of a peer-to-peer network. Part III, "Semantic Integration", deals with the mapping of heterogeneous data representations. Finally Part IV, "Methodology and Systems", reports experiences from case studies and sample applications. The overall result is a state-of-the-art description of the potential of Semantic Web and peer-to-peer technologies for information sharing and knowledge management when applied jointly.

Book Architectures for Peer to peer Media Streaming in Large Scale Systems

Download or read book Architectures for Peer to peer Media Streaming in Large Scale Systems written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distribution of substantial amounts of data to a large number of clients is a problem that is often tackled by peer-to-peer(P2P)architectures. Bottlenecks are alleviated by distributing the work of the server to all participating peers. Content is no longer passed directly from the server to all clients but only to a small subset of peers from where it is forwarded to a different subset of clients. These basic P2P ideas can also be applied to the distribution of live content, such as video streams. Additional timing constraints and bandwidth requirements of this application context lead to new challenges. Peer failures or late arriving packets directly infuence the user perception, which is not the case in simple file distribution scenarios. This thesis first analyzes some of the major problems faced by P2P live media streaming, and then presents a new architecture to address these challenges. Starting from a tree-based approach, the architecture is enhanced with adaptation algorithms to finally evolve in a mesh-based system. The in-depth analysis of tree-based architectures shows that it is important to adapt a node's position in the tree according to its bandwidth capacity. The same analysis is conducted for mesh-based architectures and it is shown that the position on the distribution path has a significant influence on performance. Another important problem concerns the fairness aspect in terms of collaborators and so-called "free-riders". A P2P system works best if all peers contribute with their resources. This can be ensured by tit-for-tat mechanisms where peers return as much as they get. In this thesis a new kind of tit-for-tat mechanism is developed to combine bandwidth contribution with robustness - the more bandwidth a peer provides the more robust its position on the path becomes.
