In this architecture, one path-control process in the CE consolidates and processes the path computations and the path settings for multiple routers. This leads to reduction in the path-control complexity and efficient operation of large scale networks. On the other hand, if faults occur in a CE and the CE become unable to serve a routing function, all of the FEs controlled by the CE will be affected. Therefore, it is absolutely critical to ensure the high reliability of the CE in this architecture. The proposed method takes the redundant configuration of N+m CEs and switches from a fault CE to a standby CE. Additionally, we describe the operation of each component in the proposed method and evaluate its feasibility by using software implementation.","PeriodicalId":145328,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124308673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only one teacher supervises many students in programming practice. Since tens of novice students need guidance because of their stuck in difficulties, the teacher is impossible to supervise all of them in a timely fashion. To solve the problem, we propose a collaborative learning model using a voting mechanism. Student are divided into small groups. They practice programming individually. A COOP point is voted to reward group members who have offered convincing opinions to others. COOP points are used as a measure of a student contribution to group learning. A collaborative learning environment based on the model, Col-E, has been developed and applied for 50 students learning C programming language in Danang Educational University in Vietnam. The result shows that Col-E works well to improve programming ability and motivation of students.","PeriodicalId":145328,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114652056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We prove that this algorithm broadcasts a data set along a degree-constrained spanning tree without global knowledge of a P2P network and that the ratio of the delay time by the algorithm to the minimum delay time is bounded by a constant factor. The other algorithm can be applied to all de Bruijn graphs. We show that this algorithm performs well in numerical experiments.","PeriodicalId":145328,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127246234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The monitoring solution constantly checks the system evolution in order to facilitate performance tuning and improvement. Monitoring is accomplished at application level, by monitoring each job from each workflow and at system level, by aggregating state information from each processing node. The solution also computes aggregated statistics that allow an improvement to the scheduling component of the system, with which it will interact. The improvement on the performance of distributed application is obtained using the realtime information to compute estimates of runtime which are used to improve scheduling. Another contribution is an automated error detection systems, which can improve the robustness of grid by enabling fault recovery mechanisms to be used. These aspects can benefit from the particularization of the monitoring system for a workflow-based application: the scheduling performance can be improved through better runtime estimation and the error detection can automatically detect several types of errors. The proposed monitoring solution could be used in the SEEGRID project as a part of the satellite image processing engine that is being built.","PeriodicalId":145328,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125458512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
