The Polytechnic Museum began to collect calculating devices and computing machines in the first years of its formation in the 1860s.. Today, the Museum has the Fund Collection “Electronic Digital Computing Machines”, which consists from seven systematic collections and eleven personal funds of Russian scientists. There are about three hundred objects and over sixteen hundred documentary, printe...

Cloud computing is an emerging technology where all the computing resources are shared on the cloud rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications. Encrypting data residing on the cloud database is required to prevent unauthorized access of confidential and critical information and the subsequent modification of the information for personal benefit. As all the organ...

There is a nexus of technologies that is currently the subject of intense interest in the research community. The explosion of Internet and wireless connectivity, the miniaturization of components, and the diversification of computer-based devices is fueling research in areas such as ubiquitous computing (Gellersen, 1999; Thomas & Gellersen, 2000; Weiser, 1991), pervasive computing (Husemann, 2...

Mobile electronic devices, such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Smart Phones, and wearable computers, have limited processing power, battery life and storage space. These restrictions slow application execution and hinder operability. A non-collaborating collection of mobile devices does not optimally use available resources. With a distributed software system, devices could collaborate ...

dvances in integrated circuit technology will soon allow the integration of one billion transistors on a single chip. This is an exciting opportunity for computer architects and designers; their challenge will be to propose microprocessor designs that use this huge transistor budget efficiently and meet the requirements of future applications. The real question is, just what are these future ap...

This paper describes PCC, a distributed multidisciplinary research program in Personal Computing and Communication. The rich diversity of emerging services in the area of personal mobile distributed computing gives rise to new complex traffic patterns that impose new requirements on the infrastructure. These requirements call for the design of a completely new system architecture, integrating d...

Support of nomadic computing on the Internet requires the design of new protocols handling issues of user mobility. Our efforts target the universal personal computing (UPC) system to provide a continuous personal computing environment for mobile users. We selected SDL as a specification language for this new service, which allowed us to use Verilog’s SDL tool: ObjectGEODE, for design verificat...

When human culture advances, current problems in science and engineering become more complicated and need more computing power to tackle and analyze. A supercomputer is not the only choice for solving complex problems any more as a result of the speed-up of personal computers and networks. Grid technology, which connects a number of personal computer clusters with high speed networks, can achie...

Ubiquitous computing means network connectivity everywhere, linking devices and systems as small as a drawing pin and as large as a worldwide product distribution chain. What could happen when people are so readily networked? This paper explores issues arising from two possible emerging models of ubiquitous human computing: fungible networked brainpower and collective personal vital sign monito...

The use of Cloud Computing has increasedrapidly in many organization .Cloud Computing provides many benefits in terms of low cost and accessibility of data. In addition Cloud Computing was predicted to transform the computing world from using local applications and storage into centralized services provided by organization.[10] Ensuring the security of Cloud Computing is major factor in the Clo...
