Specification and Control of Cooperative Work in a Heterogeneous Computing Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The implementation of an interface to support cooperative work in a heterogeneous computing environment is based on previously proposed definitions referred to as Cooperative Work Model (CWM) and Cooperative Work Language (CWL). The Interface for Cooperative Work (ICW) and the Graphical Interface for Cooperative Work (GICW) are the main two components of a tool useful in the set up and control of a cooperative working environment in a general purpose heterogeneous computing platform. This tool is described in this paper as well as some desired characteristics to improve its effectiveness. The specification and control of a virtual parallel machine are illustrated with an algorithm for 3D-reconstruction from two stereoscopic images. Test results on this application are also reported.

A semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...

Mandatory access control models have traditionally been employed as a robust security mechanism in multilevel security environments such as military domains. In traditional mandatory models, the security classes associated with entities are context-insensitive. However, context-sensitivity of security classes and flexibility of access control mechanisms may be required especially in pervasive c...
