Повний текст джерелаBaksidestext: Intelligent Transport System (ITS) can utilize advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and maximize the capacity of existing transportation systems without building new infrastructure. However, in spite of these technical feasibilities and significant performance-cost ratios, the deployment of ITS is limited in the real world because of several challenges associated with its architectural design. This thesis studies how to design an efficient deployable architecture for ITS, which can utilize the advantages of cloud computing and the publish/subscribe communication model. In particular, our aim is to offer an ITS infrastructure which provides the opportunity for transport authorities to allocate on-demand computing resources through virtualization technology, and supports a wide range of ITS applications. We propose to use an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model to host large-scale ITS applications, and to use a publish/subscribe system as a building block for developing a low latency ITS application. We investigate different strategies to improve performance of an ITS application during service mobility such as utilizing multiple paths to spread network traffic, or deploying recent queue management schemes.

Повний текст джерелаInternet of Things (‘IoT’) systems are complex, asynchronous solutions often comprised of various software and hardware components developed in isolation of each other. These components function with different degrees of reliability and performance over an inherently unreliable network, the Internet. Many IoT systems are developed within silos that do not provide the ability to communicate or be interoperable with other systems and platforms. Literature exists on how these systems should be designed, how they should interoperate, and how they could be improved, but practice does not always consult literature.
The work brings together a proposed reference architecture for the IoT and engineering practices for flow semantics found in existing literature with a commercial implementation of an IoT platform. It demonstrates that the proposed IoT reference architecture and flow-service-quality engineering practices when integrated together can produce a more robust system with increased functionality and interoperability. It shows how such practices can be implemented into a commercial solution, and explores the value provided to the system when implemented. This work contributes to the current understanding of how complex IoT systems can be developed to be more reliable and interoperable using reference architectures and flow semantics. The work highlights the value of integration of academic solutions with commercial implementations of complex systems.

Повний текст джерелаEvery year a plethora of students come to pursue their careers at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). The university supports an arena of web portals for enrollment, courses, department, student recreation and wellness amongst others.
Although there are enrollment services available, they involve mandatory check-ins and paperwork. GoSchoolPro portal eases the process of enrollment for the students by providing convenient services. This portal will not only help in facilitating the process for the incoming students but will also give voice to the past experiences of the alumni. It will be a student democrat: For the students and by the students.
The current project presents GoSchoolPro as a web application, which leverages the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture as its foundation and implements the Active Server Pages using Dot NET (ASP.NET) framework. GoSchoolPro uses the backbone of the Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) methodology and other Software Engineering (SE) best practices.

This dissertation follows British professors at Tokyo's late nineteenth century College of Technology (Kobudaigaku) and continues into the twentieth century with the Japanese students they trained. My first chapters map out an argument between British disciplines over Japanese 'adaptation' and/or 'resistance' to nature, a conflict driven by the development of the modem science of seismology in Tokyo. Seismology was a unique cross-cultural project - a 'Western' instrumental science invented and first institutionalized in a non-Western place. I discuss bow artifacts as diverse as seismographs, five-story wooden pagoda, and Mt. Fuji became 'boundary objects' in a fierce dispute between spokesmen for science and an over the character of the Japanese landscape and people. The latter chapters explain bow young Japanese architects and seismologists re-mapped the discursive and instrumental terrains of their British teachers, challenging foreign knowledge-production from inside colonizing disciplines. The text is framed around the story of the Great Nobi Earthquake of 1891. According to contemporary Japanese narratives, the great earthquake (the most powerful in modem Japanese history) was particularity damaging to the new 'foreign' infrastructure, and caused Japanese to seriously question, for the first time, the efficacy of foreign knowledge. 'Japan's earthquake problem' went from being one of bow to import European resistance into a fragile nation, to one of how to make a uniquely fragile imported infrastructure resist the power of Japanese nature. I critically re-tell this Japanese story as a corrective to European and American images of Meiji .Japan as a 'pupil country' and the West as a 'teacher culture'. "Foreign Knowledge" demonstrates in very concrete ways bow science and technology, art and architecture, gender, race, and class co-constructed Meiji Japan. Distinctions between 'artistic' and 'scientific' representations of culture/nature were particularly fluid in late nineteenth century Tokyo. Architects in my text often speak in the name of science and seismologists become an critics and even ethnographers. The narrative is also trans-national; centered in Tokyo, it follows Japanese architects, scientists, and carpenters to Britain, Italy, the United States, and Formosa.

Повний текст джерелаStreaming multimedia content over the Internet is extremely popular mainly due to emerging applications such as IPTV, YouTube and e-learning. All these applications require simultaneous streaming of multimedia content from one or multiple sources to a large number of users. Such applications impose unique requirements in terms of server bandwidth and playback delay which are difficult to achieve in a scalable fashion with the traditional client-server architecture. Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlays offer a promising approach to support scalable streaming applications, that we broadly refer to as "P2P streaming". Design of a scalable P2P streaming mechanism that accommodates heterogeneity of peers' bandwidth and copes with dynamics of peer participation while ensuring in-time delivery of the multimedia content to individual peers is extremely challenging. Besides these fundamental challenges, P2P streaming applications are facing practical issues such as encouraging peers' contribution and decreasing the costly inter-ISP P2P traffic. In this dissertation, we study several aspects of live P2P streaming with the goal of improving the performance of such systems. This dissertation can be categorized into two parts as follows. ( i ) We present the design and evaluation of a mesh-based live P2P streaming mechanism, called PRIME. Further, we perform a head-to-head comparison between the two approaches on live P2P streaming, namely tree-based and mesh-based. We demonstrate the superiority of the mesh-based approach. In the quest for a systematic comparison of existing mesh-based solutions on live P2P streaming, we leverage the insights from our design in PRIME and propose an evaluation methodology. Utilizing the evaluation methodology, we compare the performance of existing mesh-based live P2P streaming solutions. ( ii ) From a more practical perspective, we tackle some of the existing practical issues in the deployment of live P2P streaming applications, namely providing incentives for participating peers to contribute their resources and designing ISP-friendly live P2P streaming protocols with the ultimate goal of reducing costly inter-ISP traffic. In the end, this dissertation reveals fundamental trade-offs in the design, comparison and meaningful evaluation of basic and practical live P2P streaming mechanisms under realistic settings. This dissertation includes my previously published and my co-authored materials.

Architecture affects our health, especially in hospitals. However, our ability to learn from existing hospitals to design buildings that improve patient outcomes is limited. If we want to leverage large datasets of health outcomes to build knowledge about how architecture affects health, then we need new methods for analyzing spatial data and health data jointly. In this thesis, I present several steps toward the goal of developing a computational model of architectural epidemiology that aims to leverage both human and machine intelligence to do so. First, I outline the need for structured architectural datasets that capture spatial information in schemas that current drawing formats do not allow. These datasets need to be wide to capture multifaceted and qualitative aspects of the built environment, and so we need new methods to generate this data. Finally, we need strategies for surfacing insight from these datasets by involving both humans and machines in the process.
Next, I propose a framework to satisfy these criteria that consists of four components: 1) data sources, 2) feature engineering, 3) statistical analyses, and 4) decision-making activities. Two case studies provide in-depth illustrations of these components: The first presents a 3D interface that enables developers to create 3D visualizations of large health outcome datasets in architectural space while taking advantage of the Kyrix details-on-demand system's backend performance optimizations. The second tests the efficacy of neural network ablation to surface relationships between architectural characteristics and health outcomes using a synthetic dataset. It is not necessary to ignore human intuition if we want to take advantage of computational power, and it is not necessary to leave behind computational power if we want to take advantage of human intuition. By overcoming current technical barriers with the methods proposed in this thesis, we can work toward achieving both.
Ultimately, we can learn from our current environments to design buildings that improve our health.

Abstract : The most of contract mode in Taiwan are Design-Bid-Build (DBB).The architecture or engineering firms commissioned by owner will develop feasibility study, basic design and detail design, at the same time, the contractor will not be decided before bidding procedure. All the equipment and material will not be approved by owner, those equipment size and interface location is not confirmed neither. Hence, all the equipment size are designed size in design phase, and not for real size in construction phase. You have to do again CSD/SEM (Combined Service Drawing / Structure, Electrical and,Mechanical)in construction phase, even though you have done in design phase. The reason is all the equipment size and interface location are different for both phases. All the piping routine and direction will be revised again according to approved equipment that provides real size and interface location, and it will be resulted in CSD/SEM again for those revised piping. In view of this, the BIM in design phase will be built for trunk piping and bigger equipment in order to review space location and line planning reasonability. This phase is not for planning branch piping location, because the thing changed is often happened during construction phase. Actually, the most of piping layout in design phase are not sure for during construction phase. We will discuss which level of development of BIM in design phase that can be extended to the construction phase for continuous utilization to avoid doing redundant effort without getting any benefits from BIM.

Science and technology have changed man''s life style for several centuries. Not only did they revolutionize production methods, transforming the agriculturally based handicraft era onto an industrially, mechanically based era, they have also thoroughly altered cur systems of thinking. Unfortunately, however, scientific inventions and technological advancements have also given rise to crises endangering the entire eco-system because of man''s abuses , as a resuit a counter culture has been growing since the 1960 ''s, questioning the aims of science and seeking to develop an "alternative ", or "appropriate" technology. Needless to say, science and technology have greatly influenced the development of modern architecture, both directly by new engineering and production methods, and indirectly by changes in the social context. The present thesis atemps to examine the above mentioned influences, to correlate ''the interactive relationship between technology, architecture and the visual arts, and to evaluate the growth and change in modern architecture through a better understanding of science and technology. Finally, the writer hopes that the investigation will help him to better comprehand the definition of truth , as Louis Kahn has put it so well: "What will be has always been."

professionals from design, construction, and health care are working to provide
attractive, constructible, functional and safe home modifications for aging in
place. The commitment is to keep senior members of local communities in the homes
they love, rather than to segregate them into big box retirement communities.
This study explores the confidence level of both individuals interested in
aging place for themselves and their friends and family members in aging in
place modifications. In additions to those interested in aging in place for
themselves and their friends and family members, invested professionals from
design, construction and health care are surveyed to measure their confidence
in common modifications. A 3d walkthrough is tested to investigate if
confidence levels increase with the use of a walkthrough to communicate
recommended modifications.
Friends and family members of those intending to age in place were significantly more concerned about the safety of their aging person, than the aging person themselves. Those friends and family members were also more impacted by viewing the video walkthrough than any of the other groups.
