  • Traditional configuration management involves complex labor-intensive processes performed by experts. The configuration tasks such as installing or reconfiguring a system, provisioning network services and allocating resources typically involve a large number of activities involving multiple network elements. The network elements may be associated with proprietary configuration management instrumentation and may also be spread across heterogeneous network domains thereby increasing the complexity of configuration management. This paper introduces an architecture for the self-configuration of networks (SELFCON). The proposed architecture involves a directory server, which is uses to maintain configuration information. The configuration information stared in the directory server is modeled using the standard DEN specification thereby allowing effective exchange of network, system and configuration management data among heterogeneous management domains. SELFCON associates configuration intelligence with the components of the network, rather than limit it to a centralized management station. The network elements are notified about related changes in configuration policies, based upon which, they perform self-configuration. SELFCON is able to provide automation of configuration management and also an effective unifying framework for enterprise management.

  • Software architecture are High-level design decisions shaping a software system's components, structure, and interactions. It can be a blueprint for development, evolution, and ongoing maintenance. This research investigates the communication practices employed by software architects and developers to ensure adherence to the designed software architecture. It explores the factors influencing the selection of follow-up methods and the impact of follow-up frequency on successful implementation. Findings reveal that formalized follow-up procedures are not yet a ubiquitous element within the software development lifecycle. While electronic communication, particularly email, appears to be the preferred method for both architects and developers, physical and online meetings are utilized less frequently. Interestingly, the study suggests a potential confidence gap, with architects expressing concerns about developers' ability to faithfully implement the architecture. This may lead to architects providing additional clarification. Conversely, while most developers reported confidence in their software knowledge, overly detailed architecture documentation may pose challenges, highlighting the need for architects to consider alternative communication strategies. A key limitation of this study is the sample size, restricting the generalizability of the conclusions. However, the research offers valuable preliminary insights into the communication practices employed for architecture implementation, paving the way for further investigation with a larger and more diverse participant pool.

  • By the advancement of computer & network technology, the paridigm of 'Network Computer' has been realizing`. In what is called network computer, computer system and computing resource is incomparably seem to be expanded compared with conventional network technology[1]. Network connected computer system consitute a massive virtual computer, it is possible for people to use an enourmous amout of computing resource distributed widely through the network. It is also possible that we make client lightweight by the use of computer system & all shared computing resources on the network in our computer processing and we call this type of client system as thin-client. Thin-client and network computer are on and the same network paradigm in that both paradigm featuring the active use of computer system and resource on the network[2]. In network computer paragem, network itself is regarded as a basic platform for the transfer of application, so it is possible that client access remote serve system to run remote applications through the network[3]. In this paper, we propose the system architecture for the implementation of network computer by the use of Web browser, X window system and Pyjamas. By the use of network computer proposed in this paper, it is possible for people to run application on the server system as if he run local application, and it is expected to improve the security and maintenance efficiency.

  • A repository has been conceived as a critical weapon for managing organizational information resources. The system can help control the heterogeneous data in a variety of CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) tools. However, current repository systems have limitation in creating a synergetic effect by integrating information resources. Therefore, it is important to develop an integrative repository system, called Enterprise Repository System (ERS). This paper (i) defines ERS on the basis of a framework for repository systems, and (ii) suggests an ERS architecture and its detailed components. Finally, a real-life case of developing ERP repository system is illustrated according to the proposed architecture and components. This illustration may demonstrate the usefulness of this research for help developing an advanced repository system.

  • Executive information system (EIS) is a computer-based information system that supports decision makings ana management activities for senior executives. Data warehouse is a database that receives data copies from legacy systems and external data sources. Data warehouse is typically optimized for decision supports and can be an attractive solution for EIS implementation. This paper proposes an architecture for implementing EIS by the use of data warehouse. The architecture consists of ten implementation layers. Interrelationships among these layers are investigated for an effective EIS implementation. An EIS prototype for a real-fife enterprise is implemented to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed architecture.

  • Today's computer systems are widely integrated with CPU and GPU to achieve considerable performance, but energy consumption of such system directly affects operational cost, maintainability and environmental problem, which has been aroused wide concern by researchers, computer architects, and developers. To cope with energy problem, we propose a task-scheduling framework to reduce energy under performance constraint by rationally allocating the tasks across the CPU and GPU. The framework first collects the estimated energy consumption of programs and performance information. Next, we use above information to formalize the scheduling problem as the 0-1 knapsack problem. Then, we elaborate our experiment on typical platform to verify proposed scheduling framework. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm saves 14.97% energy compared with that of the time-oriented policy and yields 37.23% performance improvement than that of energy-oriented scheme on average.
