To cope with the increasing demand of video streaming, recent work proposes mitigating end-user equipment to support content delivery at the edge of the network. The throughput of end-user equipment supporting content delivery is limited by the uplink of the users Internet connection. Especially for video streaming insufficient throughput causes the video to stall and affects the Quality of Experience (QoE) of end-users. To prevent video streams from stalling, we consider a tiered caching architecture, which requests higher tier caches to support content delivery, if the uplink throughput drops below a certain threshold. We conduct a simulative performance evaluation of the mechanism to investigate its impact on the QoE of end-users. Our results show that especially if the upload bandwidth of end-user equipment is low the setting of the threshold has a high impact. This can be used by operators to achieve the desired trade-off between QoE and operational cost for cache resources.","PeriodicalId":395401,"journal":{"name":"2015 10th International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing (3PGCIC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122322443","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}

However, computation models and application characteristics also play significant roles in determining whether FPGA-based reconfigurable hardware is indeed a good match for specific applications on a mobile or embedded platform.

The BIR algorithm is based on the simultaneous inverse iteration (SI) algorithm, which is a variant of the inverse iteration algorithm, and is introduced to a block parameter. Since the BIR algorithm is mainly composed of the matrix multiplications, the proposed eigensolver is expected to accelerate the computation of eigenpairs even on massively parallel computers. Numerical experiments on shared-memory multi-core processors show that the BIR algorithm is faster than the SI algorithm and achieves the good parallel efficiency. In addition, many cases of the numerical experiments also show that the proposed eigensolver, including the parallel bisection and the BIR algorithm, is more accurate than the parallel implementation of other eigensolvers, such as the QR iteration algorithm, the divide-and-conquer algorithm, and the multiple relatively robust representations algorithm.","PeriodicalId":395401,"journal":{"name":"2015 10th International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing (3PGCIC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127364536","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 cloud computing middleware is just the key to the service-oriented step in the computing. If PaaS is the core of the cloud computing system, then the middleware is the core of PaaS.

SEPA is an initiative of the European banking industry aiming at making all electronic payments across the Euro area -- e.g. by credit card, debit card, bank transfer or direct debit -- as easy as domestic payments currently are. One of the payment schemes defined by the SEPA mandate is the SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) that allows a creditor (biller) to collect funds from a debtor's (payer's) account, provided that a signed mandate has been granted by the payer to the biller. Thanks to SDD consumers can make and receive no-cash euro payments with a single set of instructions and a single bank account. It is apparent that the use of this standard scheme facilitates the access to new markets by enterprises and public administrations and allows for a substantial cost reduction. However, the other side of the coin is represented by the security issues concerning this type of electronic payments. A study conducted by Center of Economics and Business Research (CEBR) of Britain, on behalf of Liverpool Insurance Company, showed that from 2006 to 2010 the Direct Debit frauds have increased of 288%. In this paper a comprehensive analysis of real SDD data provided by the EU FP7 LeanBigData project is performed in order to identify and classify emerging and sophisticated attack patterns that can be executed against an SDD service. The results of this data analysis will be used to inspire the design of a security system supporting analysts to detect Direct Debit frauds.","PeriodicalId":395401,"journal":{"name":"2015 10th International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing (3PGCIC)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132256150","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}
