In fact, in open environments like ad-hoc networks, it is difficult to define a policy based on authentication at design time since the potential users are unknown and continuously changing. Thus, the policy can only be defined with regards to the managed resources and the security requirements related to these resources.","PeriodicalId":288478,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'07)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116095767","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}

Efficiency of managing and planning resources and tasks in heterogeneous computer systems depends heavily on the accuracy of estimating each task resource demands. In this paper we explain how building the task work path for one fixed background loading and approximating the task resource consumption is applied to the resource consumption estimate for the tasks running in the GRID environment. In addition we address dimensional blowout by approximating the CWG matrix based on Markov clustering. This technique allows us to essentially reduce the resources and experiment time which are required for invariant generating and to make application of the method to the GRID scheduling and planning a reality.","PeriodicalId":288478,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'07)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129013294","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}

These kinds of displays will provide different communities with means for showing opportunistic, information for different users as well as personal information contextualized to the specific moment, situation and location. Current research in this area has identified several problems that are still unsolved concerning simultaneous, multiple user information visualizations. Specific problems raised in this area deal with usability, privacy and personal information management in shared spaces. This paper presents preliminary work that address these open problems and presents ongoing research towards the definition of a model for managing context, content and user interface visualizations for multi-users public displays.","PeriodicalId":288478,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'07)","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132334525","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}

Complex relationships between program resources, coupled with the demands that these resources make on the underlying hardware and operating system, make tuning many software systems a difficult task. As time progresses, system workloads often change, resulting in reduced performance and the need to retune the system. In this paper, we overview an automatic diagnosis framework designed to determine the cause of performance and resource problems. We present our results demonstrating the ability to correctly identify system bottlenecks in a complex software system. We also show that the system is able to handle changes in workload.","PeriodicalId":288478,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'07)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127301440","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}

This involves research on stock control systems and also looks into the new advanced system that Argos will introduce in the future to come. This project has an insight into the employees of Argos whether they understand the current system and the new system. This investigation was carried out to find out if the employees of Argos understood the stock control system. Who out of the full-time and part-time employees had the most knowledge, what the employees think of the system, and finally what do the employee think of the new stock control system. The data was gathered by using a quantitative method, which was an introduction of questionnaires. The project examines the characteristics between the two sets of employees, full-time and part-time, the knowledge within the employees of Argos had a major similarity. It looks at both sets of employees with very symmetrical opinion regards to the new system and the knowledge they have. Its also considers the current stock control system the knowledge. It researches the full-time employees and what knowledge they have regards to the knowledge to the part-time employees.","PeriodicalId":288478,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'07)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130813405","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}

Job search sites require recommender systems to meet diversified information needs: Job seekers who have well-defined careers try to focus on relevant open positions while students who have general and evolving interests want to follow the dominant trends of the job market in order to plan their career path. In this paper, we introduce a comprehensive job recommender system. From the user's perspective, four different kinds of recommendations are implemented. Users of this system can retrieve open jobs with different methods, ranging from exploring to searching.","PeriodicalId":288478,"journal":{"name":"Third International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'07)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124776365","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}
