We propose a management architecture for the P2P model which respects its distributed nature while building a hierarchical structure. This architecture enables the distribution of management functions, avoids an excessive centralization of the manager role and fits the dynamic of the P2P model well. The architecture is evaluated through an implementation in the Pastry framework.

This paper provides a brief survey on the control architectures used in the underwater system and robotics research for AUV application. Advantages and disadvantages of each scheme are discussed briefly in the context of performance evaluation, design flexibility and extensibility, sensor or command fusion and integration, robustness and effectiveness of task modules. There are many schemes ava...

The aim of this paper is to define the architecture of the information analysis towards a proposal of methodology on systematic information analysis. First, the author shows the dimensions that state the architecture of information management. Second, the work explores the concept of indicator, as the measurement of the relation between data, and presents the results of a theoretical study of t...

To develop a simulator for automated manufacturing systems using an object-oriented modeling paradigm, we have researched the message-passing architecture and methodology of rapid model construction. For the message-passing methodology, we propose a modified hierarchical control architecture, modified to allow signal paths between adjacent job flow-connected resources. Model libraries using the...

Molecular modeling and simulation has been recognized as an effective tool for gaining a comprehensive and insightful understanding of nanomaterial structure-property relationships, which are critical for nanomaterial development. Note that nanomaterial development is a very complicated task involving the design and management of massive runs of simulations and numerous types of subtasks in mul...

In a hierarchical architecture, higher energy nodes can be used to process and send the information while low energy nodes can be used to perform the sensing in the proximity of the target. This means that creation of clusters and assigning special tasks to cluster heads can greatly contribute to overall system scalability, lifetime, and energy efficiency. Hierarchical routing is an efficient w...

To improve the effectiveness and QoS of service in a sensor network there are number of communication and localization architectures followed by sensor network. One of such architecture is clustering architecture. This architecture restrict the communication to short distances so that the energy consumption of a node is reduces. In this paper, the clustering architecture and functionality of Cl...
