Cloud computing is attracting the attention of the scientific community. In this paper, we develop a new cloud-based computing system in the Windows Azure platform that allows users to use the Zeolite Structure Predictor (ZSP) model through a Web browser. The ZSP is a novel machine learning approach for classifying zeolite crystals according to their framework type. The ZSP can categorize entri...

Service composition provides value-adding services through composing basic Web services, which may be provided by various organizations. Cloud computing presents an efficient managerial, on-demand, and scalable way to integrate computational resources (hardware, platform, and software). However, existing Cloud architecture lacks the layer of middleware to enable dynamic service composition. To ...

High-scale interactive services demand high throughput with low latency and high availability, difficult goals to meet with the traditional stateless 3-tier architecture. The actor model makes it natural to build a stateful middle tier and achieve the required performance. However, the popular actor model platforms still pass many distributed systems problems to the developers. The Orleans prog...

Visiting physical therapists to the clinics for physical rehabilitation in regular basis is a very long and timeconsuming trip where the final result for success is truly hard to see in daily training. That’s why technological development in traditional physical rehabilitation system is both important, interesting and its effects on patients’ time-management process is huge. In this paper we ha...

Client + cloud computing is a disruptive, new computing platform, combining diverse client devices – PCs, smartphones, sensors, and single-function and embedded devices – with the unlimited, on-demand computation and data storage offered by cloud computing services such as Amazon’s AWS or Microsoft’s Windows Azure. As with every advance in computing, programming is a fundamental challenge as cl...

One of the large impediments for adoption of cloud computing is perceived vendor lock-in with respect to both low-level resource management and applicationlevel storage services. Application portability is essential to both avoid lock-in as well as leverage the everchanging landscape of cloud offerings. We present a storage abstraction layer to enable applications to both utilize the highly-ava...

in English— In this paper, we argue that modern functional programming languages – in particular, F# on the .NET platform – are well suited for the development of distributed, web and cloud applications on the Internet. We emphasize that F# can be successfully used in a range of scenarios – starting from simple ASP.NET web applications, and including cloud data processing tasks and data-driven ...

We present BlueSky, a network file system backed by cloud storage. BlueSky stores data persistently in a cloud storage provider such as Amazon S3 or Windows Azure, allowing users to take advantage of the reliability and large storage capacity of cloud providers and avoid the need for dedicated server hardware. Clients access the storage through a proxy running on-site, which caches data to prov...

Resumen. Hoy en día, las tecnologías para la Internet aumentan a pasos agigantados, provocando la existencia de un gran número de proveedores de servicios en la nube como: Google App Engine, Windows Azure, Amazon E2C, entre otros. Esto a su vez hace que las empresas adoptantes sean más exigentes al adquirir un servicio. En este sentido, este trabajo propone un análisis comparativo entre los dif...
