Wind tunnels are a key experimental tool for the analysis of airflow parameters in many fields of application. Despite their great potential impact on agricultural research, few contributions have dealt with the development of automatic control systems for wind tunnels in the field of greenhouse technology. The objective of this paper is to present an automatic control system that provides prec...

Efficient and dynamic reallocation of data is a major challenge of distributed data management, because current solutions require constant monitoring and manual adjustment. In contrast, future solutions should provide autonomic mechanisms to achieve self-tuning and exhibit high degrees of flexibility and availability. Constraint-based database caching (CbDBC) is one of the most ambitious approa...

Autonomic Computing is an exciting research direction that aims to provide self-configuration, selfoptimization, self-healing and self-protection capabilities to computer systems. Currently, performance tuning of J2EE application server is a complex manual task. This is unfortunately a necessary task in order to achieve optimal performance under dynamic workload environment. We propose generic ...
