The paper describes an improvement over our previous work: the concept of an Adaptive SOA Solution Stack (based on the IBM S3 model) which applies an AS3 element pattern to S3 layers where the need for adaptation arises. The presented improvement, called the adaptation strategy management process, represents a solution that enables an Adaptation Architect to model Quality of Service (QoS) adaptation in a declarative manner, automatically deploy it into a running system and then monitor its execution. Its main objective is to allow the Adaptation Architects to view the adaptation process on a higher level of abstraction and employ adaptivity mechanisms in working applications in an easy way. This is accomplished by incorporating the adaptive application metamodel developed in the DiVA EU project and adjusting it to the SOA context. This paper explains the challenges involved in adaptation strategy management and proposes extensions to the DiVA metamodel. Subsequently, it presents a method by which the Adaptive Manager (a component of the AS3 adaptation loop responsible for making decisions about adaptation) can execute adaptation strategies in accordance with the adaptation model. The presented approach is evaluated in a case study, creating an adaptation strategy and monitoring its impact on an application prototype.

The paper deals with optimal distribution of the bulk and shear moduli minimizing the compliance of an inhomogeneous isotropic elastic 3D body transmitting a given surface loading to a given support. The isoperimetric condition is expressed by the integral of the trace of the Hooke tensor being a linear combination of both moduli. The problem thus formulated is reduced to an auxiliary 3D problem of minimization of a certain stress functional over the stresses being statically admissible. The integrand of the auxiliary functional is a linear combination of the absolute value of the trace and norm of the deviator of the stress field. Thus the integrand is of linear growth. The auxiliary problem is solved numerically by introducing element-wise polynomial approximations of the components of the trial stress fields and imposing satisfaction of the variational equilibrium equations. The under-determinate system of these equations is solved numerically thus reducing the auxiliary problem to an unconstrained problem of nonlinear programming.

A method of direct numerical representation of symbolic data is proposed. The method starts with parsing a sequence into an ordered set (spectrum) of distinct, non-overlapping short strings of symbols (words). Next, the words spectrum is mapped onto a vector of binary components in a high dimensional, linear space. The numerical representation allows for some arithmetical operations on symbolic data. Among them is a meaningful average spectrum of two sequences. As a test, the new numerical representation is used to build centroid vectors for the k-means clustering algorithm. It significantly enhanced the clustering quality. The advantage over the conventional approach is a high score of correct clustering several real character sequences like novel, DNA and protein.

Spongy materials are encountered in nature in zeolites used as molecular sieves. There are also synthetic compounds like spongy carbon, metal-organic frameworks MOFs, etc, with a hollow structure. The design and topological study of some hypothetical spongy nanostructures is presented in terms of map operations and genus calculation on their associated graphs. The design of nanostructures was performed by original software packages.

Parallelization of processing in Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising spin system with the lattice distributed in a stripe way is proposed. Message passing is applied and one-sided MPI communication with the MPI memory window is exploited. The 2D Ising spin lattice model is taken for testing purposes. The scalability of processing in our simulations is tested in real-life computing on high performance multicomputers and discussed on the basis of speedup and efficiency. The larger the lattice the better scalability is obtained.

The equation of state of the Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid in the liquid-vapour (LV) critical region is investigated by Molecular Dynamics simulation (MD). The calculated pressure (P ) and chemical potential (μ) are, within the simulation statistics, flat at the critical temperature between LJ reduced densities of ca. 0.26 to 0.34. The critical temperature, Tc, determined for an isotherm where (∂P/∂ρ)T = 0 and (∂μ/∂ρ)T = 0, is shown to decrease with increasing system size and pure LJ potential interaction range, rc, using a tapering function going to zero beyond rc. The value of Tc obtained by extrapolating the system size and rc to∞ is 1.316± 0.001, which is statistically within the uncertainties of previous literature values. The percolation threshold separation, rp, along the critical isotherm decreases monotonically with increasing density, ρ, and is for intermediate densities lower than that of the nearest equivalent hard-sphere system. The lines of constant percolation distance on the density-temperature projection of the phase diagram reveal a difference in qualitative behaviour, indicative of underlying structural differences on either side of the critical envelope. The mean square force in the critical region near to Tc is linear in ρ. Probability distributions of the nearest neighbour distance, absolute particle force and potential energy per molecule are presented.

The present investigation is to focus on the effect of Hall current and rotation in a modified couple stress theory of elastic half space due to ramp-type loading in a homogeneous, isotropic, thermoelastic diffusive medium. The mathematical formulation is prepared for different theories of thermoelastic diffusion, including the Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The Laplace and Fourier transforms techniques are applied to obtain the solutions of the governing equations. The components of displacement, stresses, temperature change and mass concentration are obtained in the transformed domain. The numerical inversion technique has been used to obtain the solutions in the physical domain. Effects of Hall current and rotation are shown on the resulting quantities. Some particular cases are also discussed in the present problem.
