In order to boost the availability and performance of the system, these storage systems follow eventual consistency and don't o�er tight consistency by default. Paxos is mostly used in this context to ensure tight consistency on demand. But it adds extra costs on messages management, mostly complexity and size. Paxos shrinks the space for other research areas such as cache memory optimization and load-balancing. This paper gives an opportunity to propose and discuss the challenges of a new consistency protocol for modern storage systems entitled 'LibRe'. LibRe follows the Eventual Consistency model. In addition, it logs operations executed on each node in the distributed system. This additional information is used by the load balancer and ensures that requests are not forwarded to a node where the data needed to serve the request are stale. Since Eventual Consistency already o�ers better Availability and Partition tolerance, the aspiration of associating LibRe with eventual consistency is to work out a better consistency management service providing also availability and partition tolerance. The simulation results for consistency and latency in LibRe are compared among traditional Pessimistic Consistency, Eventual Consistency, and Paxos. The overall results are discussed and new opportunities for research works are provided.

Plus precisement, elle concerne l'installation par EDF de reseaux de capteurs point-a-point installes le long de conduites forcees. De l'information doit etre transmise depuis un point E dit Emetteur jusqu’a un point R dit Recepteur via un reseau sans fil. Le but est ici de placer un certain nombre de capteurs, engendrant un cout minimal, pour que l’integralite de l’information soit transmise. Chaque capteur a un rayon d’action r limite, et il ne peut transmettre son information a un autre capteur que si celui-ci est dans son rayon d’action. Ainsi, de proche en proche, l’information doit partir de l’emetteur, aller de capteur en capteur, jusqu’a arriver au recepteur. Il y a cependant des contraintes quant au placement des capteurs : en ...

Our project has investigated object oriented solutions for industrial messaging services. The corresponding prototype offers a portable object oriented industrial messaging service implemented in Java. We have built a QoS aware extension of this service based on Jonathan, a flexible ORE that allows the introduction of temporal QoS to handle real time constraints. The full prototype is based on the AJAX toolkit, our binding factory for ATM networks

In Multiplayer Ubiquitous Games (MUGs), players have to in-teract in the real world at both physical and virtual levels. Player profiles in MUGs offer an opportunity to provide per-sonalized services to gamers. This paper presents a way to manage MUG player profiles on a NFC Smart Card, and proposes a Java API to integrate Smart Cards in the devel-opment of MUGs. This user centric approach brings new forms of gameplay, allowing the player to interact with the game or with other players any time and anywhere. Smart Cards should also help improve the security, ubiquity and the user mobility in traditional MUGs. Categories and Subject Descriptors

The project is inspired by the reference models defined by the ISO/OSI Manufacturing Message Specification for remote machine tool supervision (MMS) and the Open System Architecture within Control Applications (OSACA). Instead of proposing MMS or OSACA protocols for communication, we propose a unified object-oriented solution based on the OMG-CORBA software bus. Adopting a common object-oriented approach for both remote communication and internal architecture of a NC platform is conceivable. It leads to a design very close to the one proposed in the mentioned standards. The consequences of including a Manufacturing Object Messaging System on the NC design model are discussed. A Java and CORBA based demonstration prototype has been developed. The end of the paper describes how we address real-time constrai...

This paper proposes a mobile application -conceived for and with a contemporary artist- allowing the spatial annotation of paintings and the delivery of multimedia related interpretation material to the concerned public, through the combined use of RFID tags and NFC (Near Field Communication) mobile phones, serving as delivery platforms. The paper reports on the design and implementation of the application as well as on the results of a first, proof-of-concept, evaluation.
