Abstract: A computer-implemented schema-independent method of modeling data from a plurality of diverse sources. A server transmits to a client a blueprint for visualizing and interacting with data, wherein the blueprint defines an application, for visualizing and interacting with data that runs on the client. The application may operate on the client within a web browser and may include program code or scripts that operate within the web browser and transmit data and commands to and from the server. In response to receiving a data fetch message from the application running on a client computer, the server receives data from a selected one of a plurality of domains. The server then transforms the received data into a semantic data format. The transformed data is then stored by the server as a first data set. The first data set can then be transmitted to the client computer for further processing and visualization by the application on the client using the blueprint.

Abstract: An interactive video distribution system and video player are described. A client server arrangement may be used for providing a video player and video content to a client device.

Abstract: Summary A practical view is provided on the integration of electronic instrumentation, data acquisition, and software development systems applied to the analysis of pathological structural processes. This system will enable researchers to remotely monitor constructions; compile a register of historical data, creating files for postprocessing; and establish computer-based protocols for evaluation of information, defining automatic alarms when the monitored data exceed preset limit values. This integration is based on the implementation of a remote terminal unit architecture in an industrial PC along with some other elements, namely, the following: suitable data acquisition cards for the type of sensors used, which continuously collect the data the sensors gather; the installation of an application server that periodically communicates with the system, extracting data while guaranteeing persistence; and finally, a web server, which provides remote access to both the data themselves and the system configuration, using a client application developed in JavaFX, a platform for developing rich Internet applications. As an example of the integration, the architecture of a system deployed in a Church in Comillas, Spain, is shown. The work carried out related to the register of existing damage is reported in order to explain the choice of the zones for deployment of the monitoring devices as well as the tasks involved in the installation of the sensors and other devices. Finally, the evolution is presented of the measurements taken during more than 1.5 years of monitoring, as well as their validation through comparison with those obtained by discrete in situ measurement.

Abstract: Nowadays, while the popularity of chat applications increases, this popularity brings some security problems with it. A variety of authentication mechanisms and encrypting methods are suggested and applied between server and client to minimize the increasing security problems in literature and marketing companies. In this study, various security measures have been considered for instant messaging applications, a java based client-server chat application developed by Professor Dan Boneh [1] and his assistants from Stanford University has been made secure and a secured chat application model which has three steps has been developed. At the first step, server has been identified itself to certificate authority and password authentication procedure has been performed to identify client itself to server. The second step is called as connection and client connects to chat room via ticket granting ticket (TGT) request in this step. Messages written by clients are sent to server cryptically through symmetric encryption method Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the third step which is called as encrypted messaging too. Source code of this application is accessible to everyone from the reference [9].

Abstract: Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) is a common technique enabling HRI researchers to explore aspects of interaction not yet backed by autonomous systems. A standardized, open, and flexible WoZ framework could therefore serve the community and accelerate research both for the design of robotic systems and for their evaluation. This paper presents the definition of OpenWoZ , a Wizard-of-Oz framework for HRI, designed to be updated during operation by the researcher controlling the robot. OpenWoZ is implemented as a thin HTTP server running on the robot, and a cloud-backed multi-platform client schema. The WoZ server accepts representational state transfer (REST) requests from a number and variety of clients simultaneously. This "separation of concerns" in OpenWoZ allows addition of commands, new sequencing of behaviors, and adjustment of parameters, all during run-time.

Abstract: Mobile government is an innovative research area where efforts are made to advance governmental and public services. As such, in this paper, we propose a crisis management system for real-time emergency notification of users using mobile applications and smart watches. We develop an intuitive web portal using a client server architecture for governmental agencies to easily and efficiently notify users within the range of danger in the occurrence of a disaster through SMS or push notifications to the mobile application or the smart watch, if the latter is available. Moreover, real-time mapping for indoor localization systems are utilized for user navigation to the nearest exit with the added feature of floor plans for public locations that may be accessed offline for the convenience of the users. The system is also designed for instant emergency aid assistance in case of a medical personal difficulty through the use of the developed dedicated bilingual multi-platform mobile application.

Abstract: A client and server negotiate a secure communication channel using a pre-shared key where the server, at the time the negotiation initiates, lacks access to the pre-shared key. The server obtains the pre-shared key from another server that shares a secret with the client. A digital signature or other authentication information generated by the client may be used to enable the other server to determine whether to provide the pre-shared key.

Abstract: We present a client-server framework for the development of mobile applications that use Augmented Reality (AR) to visualize geolocated data. Geo-information displays allow users to understand and respond effectively to the context in which the application is deployed. We provide a scalable and flexible architecture for the development and management of the client, the server and the data that are used by the applications. This architecture is based on the display of connected layers that represent structured information. The approach has been implemented in two case studies: the management of failures in electrical power lines, and to support hydrogeological monitoring.

Abstract: Distributed systems are continuously growing in scale, and so is the processing capacity requested from the servers in such systems. In an IoT context, such a variation in the requested processing capacity often comes from the also dynamic number of client nodes (possibly mobile and autonomous) that operate asynchronously. This results in servers that have to support a broad range of load conditions over time. In a real-time domain, over provisioning the server is the mainstream approach to guarantee service time to clients. However, as the average load is typically much lower than the worst case load, over dimensioning the server resources for the worst case threatens a cost-effective design. To avoid under utilization of server resources, this work introduces an approach to improve the cost-effective design of servers. There is an external coodinator that has global knowledge of the load conditions throughout the system, so that it controls the resources in the servers accordingly, a resource agent at a server is guided by the external coordinator node to adjust the server's thread pool size in order to support varying numbers of clients. An additional layer is designed to enable the interaction between the external coordination entity and the server. At the server side, this layer must exhibit acceptable temporal costs in order not to interfere with the server operation and its processing on behalf of client requests. This layer is validated for a specific implementation over a C++ environment based on Ice middleware and its remote method invocation model, the actual overhead introduced at network level is also analysed to validate the approach.

Abstract: Centralized crawlers are not adequate to spider meaningful and relevant portions of the Web. A crawler with good scalability and load balancing can bring growth to performance. As the size of web is growing, in order to complete the downloading of pages in fewer amounts of time and increase the coverage of crawlers it is necessary to distribute the crawling process. In this paper, we present client server architecture based smart distributed crawler for crawling web. In this architecture load between the crawlers is managed by server and each time a crawler is loaded, load is distributed to others by dynamically distributing the URLs. Focused crawlers makes efficient usage of network bandwidth and storage capacity, when distributed can enhance the performance.

Abstract: Mobility is one of the major feature in the present computing environment and in the present era of computing almost all the mobile devices have the ability that they can easily be move from one location to other and the data reside on a single system can be utilize via other systems generally using the client-server paradigm . The mobile device can extract needed amount of data from the server and use in both online and as well as in offline mode, but whatever the changes being made during offline work should be copied back to the server and vice-versa whenever the server connects. As the server should always retain most recent data received from client database. So, the data synchronization is a major concern in this scenario by which data confliction can be resolved, data integrity is maintained and most recent data can be placed between the client-server. In this paper the overall data synchronization summary, architecture, tools & techniques between the two devices has been included.

Abstract: This paper discusses load balancing methods available in the Apache2 server. The Apache2 server runs on Raspberry-Pi2 model B+ clustered web server which consisting of three Raspberry-Pi boards one functions as the load balancer and two as worker nodes. As a part of this research, we developed a web application called the “Student Information System (SIS)” and it runs on the web server. Siege software has been used to generate artificial traffic and to measure parameters such as throughput, transactions, transaction rate, concurrency, response time and data transferred. Results were analyzed by modeling the linear and nonlinear models for each and every parameter against the number of users. We focus on an experimental analysis of the performance under four load balancing methods available in Apache2 server. We study the performance of the algorithms through a simulation to evaluate their performance under different conditions. The results of our study are reported in the paper.

Abstract: People with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are known to have difficulty recognizing and expressing emotions, which affects their social integration. Leveraging the recent advances in interactive robot and music therapy approaches, and integrating both, we have designed musical robots that can facilitate social and emotional interactions of children with ASD. Robots communicate with children with ASD while detecting their emotional states and physical activities and then, make real-time sonification based on the interaction data. Given that we envision the use of multiple robots with children, we have adopted a client-server architecture. Each robot and sensing device plays a role as a terminal, while the sonification server processes all the data and generates harmonized sonification. After describing our goals for the use of sonification, we detail the system architecture and on-going research scenarios. We believe that the present paper offers a new perspective on the sonification application for assistive technologies.
