    Measuring the Fog, Gently

    The availability of suitable monitoring tools and techniques will be crucial to orchestrate multi-service applications in a context- and QoS-aware manner over new Fog infrastructures. In this paper, we propose FogMon, a lightweight distributed prototype monitoring tool, which measures data about hardware resources (viz., CPU, RAM, HDD) at the available Fog nodes, end-to-end network QoS (viz., latency and bandwidth) between those nodes, and detects connected IoT devices. FogMon is organised into a peer-to-peer architecture and it shows a very limited footprint on both hardware and bandwidth. The usage of FogMon on a real testbed is presented

    Ayahuasca: Between Cognition and Culture

    No full text
    This book summarizes Ismael Apud’s ethnographic research in the field of ayahuasca, conducted in Latin America and Catalonia over a period of 10 years. To analyze the variety of ayahuasca spiritual practices and beliefs, the author combines different approaches, including medical anthropology, cognitive science of religion, history of science, and religious studies. Ismael Apud is a psychologist and anthropologist from Uruguay, with a PhD in Anthropology at Universitat Rovira i Virgili

    Ismael Rivera – El Nazareno, Apuntes preliminares para un viaje literario

    This study is dedicated to the life of the so-called “sonero mayor”, Ismael Rivera. Presents both, his journey to become a tropical music exponent at an international level and his personal experiences. The article contains references to past interviews, and books, as fragments of new interviews conducted by the author to close friends of the famous singer. A tour of the different facets of Maelo\u27s life, such as his combination of ethno-religious roots (yoruba / orisha, catholic, and the Black Christ tradition), his nationality, his drug problem, but above all, its sovereignty. In the end, the paper reflects how the life of Ismael Rivera was at various levels, reflecting on the life of, what we call,a sovereign Caribbean CimarronEste estudio es dedicado a la vida del llamado “sonero mayor”, Ismael Rivera. Se presenta tanto su travesía para convenirse en un exponente de la música tropical a nivel internacional como sus vivencias personales. El artículo contiene referencias a pasadas entrevistas, y libros, así como a fragmentos de nuevas entrevistas realizadas por el autor a amigos íntimos del afamado cantante. Se hace un recorrido por las diferentes facetas de la vida de Maelo, tales como: su adhesión de raíces etno-religiosas (yoruba/orisha, católica, y la tradición del Cristo Negro), su nacionalidad, su problema de drogo-dependencia, pero sobre todo, su soberanía. Al final del trabajo, la investigación devela cómo era la vida de Ismael Rivera, al que consideramos un cimarrón caribeño soberano

    Dynamic software architecture management for collaborative communicating systems

    Nous proposons de concevoir et de mettre en oeuvre un environnement logiciel pour une "gestion guidée par les modèles" des changements dans les architectures des applications distribuées coopératives. Les aspects adaptabilité des applications, les aspects transformations de graphe et les aspects particuliers des applications distribuées coopératives sont étudiés. Une approche d'adaptation s'appuyant sur une modélisation par les graphes et un style architectural de type Poducteur/Consommateur est présentée pour des applications communicantes collaboratives sensibles au contexte. Une démarche de raffinement est proposée permettant de garantir un certain degré d'adaptabilité en faisant un compromis entre les différents paramètres du contexte. Ces travaux de recherche ont aussi permis de définir un cadre algorithmique générique de reconfiguration architecturale multi-niveaux pour la sélection des architectures de déploiement les plus adaptées à un contexte et aux situations associées. Ce cadre a été appliqué au cas de la communication et de la coopération de groupe. Elle a aussi permis de modéliser le style architectural Producteur/Consommateur pour une communication orientée événement. Des règles d'adaptation ont été définies. Elles comportent une partie basée sur SWRL pour la description du contexte et des règles d'adaptation, et une partie basée sur les grammaires de graphes pour la transformation des configurations de déploiementIn this work, we study dynamic reconfiguration of collaborative communicating applications. Providing generic and scalable solutions for automated self-reconfiguration in group collaboration support systems can be driven by rule-based reconfiguration policies. To achieve this goal, we elaborate a dynamic graph-based modeling approach and we develop structural models that can represent the different interaction dependencies from different configuration-related point of views: communication flows between the distributed machines, the networked deployment nodes, and the service composition. Our solution is based on graph grammars rewriting. We provide graph transformation to specify rules for changing deployment architecture while being in conformance to an architectural style. In order to handle the complex design of communicating collaborative system architectures and the related adaptation issues, we propose a multi-layer modelling approach. This approach assures generic solutions for automatic context aware adaptation. Our approach is based on the observation that semantic data analysis that can be exploited to manage priorities and more generally to manage communications. This allows us to represent, in a richer way, the semantics of the managed system

    Abstract Date Presented 3/31/2017 Sensory processing was significantly related to the participation of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a variety of home and community activities. Children with ASD in this study preferred to participate in parent–child household and routine errand activities.
