With remarkable advances in mobile calculation and wireless communications, users expect to access the Internet anytime, anywhere. However, in environments with limited network bandwidth, the traditional pull based approach for information diffusion can not handle the great amount of demand. The researchers put their sights on information push services, expect to reduce communication load and distribute Internet links in a more efficient way. On the other side, with the advances in intelligent devices and the demand of data exchange, more and more XML documents will be pushed to clients in the future. Unfortunately, XML is verbose and it needs more communication resource when been pushing. In this paper, we focus on the delta compression which can be adopted in push services, and present a new delta compression, Jdelta. Jdelta is able to improve the compression ratio when deal with XML documents, more effective than any other compression scheme, and, more effective in saving the resource of communication.

Motivated by the high cost problem of ternary CAM, we proposed a new technique for providing a compaction routing table. With the comparisons with existing algorithms, our new technique can improve the use of ternary-CAM space under reasonable compressing time, performs well without consider the size of routing table size. And our scheme outperforms other existing schemes in terms of the use of the ternary-CAM space and the processing time.

The common-use gap penalty strategies, constant penalty and affine gap penalty, have been adopted in the traditional three-sequence alignment algorithm which considers the insertion, deletion and substitution. However, these strategies are not suitable to protein sequence alignments. For the alignment accuracy of protein sequences, the gap penalty is a major determinant. Incorporating protein structure information to vary the gap penalties can lead to more biologically correct alignments. Here, we present an algorithm to find a global and optimal alignment among three protein sequences by using position- specific gap penalties which allow gap penalties to be varied. Thus, residue-dependent information and protein structure information can be applied to the three-sequence alignment. The experimental results show that our algorithm achieves the significant improvement in the accuracy of alignments than the three-sequence alignment algorithm with the affine gap penalty for protein sequences.

Older adults have specific needs and abilities reflected by their decline, activities and use of technology. First, we present their cognitive, physical, physiological, and sensory characteristics, and their impact on fundamental needs. Then, we suggest and discuss dedicated systems exploiting intelligent environments to support physical and mental health, prevent falls and alert, multiply social contacts, and ensure self-esteem. Besides, proper design of arbitrary services must incorporate safety, integration, variability, senses, acceptance, and memory. Our most significant contribution is to provide the first overview of older adults' specific needs in intelligent environments.

If we consider the chronologic age of an organism, it is often unable to give useful information about its stage in the development or aging processes. Then we propose here to use a biological age essentially determined by the number of used mitoses before the Hayflick's limit for the tissues of the critical organs (in the sense where their loss causes the death of the whole organism) of a living being. We propose a definition of the biological age of an organ based on the Hayflick's limit and on a desynchronization index (the cell entropy) of its tissues.

The advancement of personal devices such as PDAs and mobile phones become ubiquitous and their increasing computing capabilities allow users to perform tasks that used to be performed on workstations. However, we cannot expect to run all tasks on top of personal devices because of the limited resources. Application offloading allow us to overcome this issue by porting part of an application to a nearby server or workstation with more capabilities. In this paper we present a new application offloading mechanism to perform offloading based on the execution history of applications, and adaptable to the current conditions of the environment and device. We record the consumed resources and the state of the device and surrogates, and we use that information to perform an adaptable offloading. We show that our scheme can prevent the overhead of profiling and also reduce the execution time of an application against pure runtime offloading.

IEEE 802.21 standard is developing media independent handover service which is consist of three services, media independent command service, media independent event service and media independent information service. Media independent information service provides a framework by which a media independent handover function both in a mobile node and in a network can discover and obtain homogeneous and heterogeneous network information within a geographical area to facilitate handovers. Also, media independent information service includes support for various information elements providing information that is essential for a handover module in the mobile node to make intelligent handover decision stored in information server. To do so, the mobile node has to discover at least one available information server in networks. This paper proposes a new mechanism in conjunction with DHCP to discover various network information stored somewhere in Internet. Also, implementation has shown that the proposed mechanism can be a convenient and valuable IS location information discovery mechanism in some cases.

With the outbreak of peer-to-peer applications and its great potential of file sharing, along with the rapid development of the marine telecommunication technologies, we feel the impulse to implement a mobile peer-to-peer file sharing system for the sea area, where the crew or passengers are far away from the land, expecting more for file and information sharing than people on shore. To achieve such a goal, we propose a mobile P2P architecture based on Next Generation Maritime Communication Network (NGMCN), which is kind of Heterogeneous Wireless Network (HWISE). In this paper, we design our mobile P2P overlay system, eSeagull, based on the proposed architecture. Through statistical analysis and simulation, it is demonstrated that this system is applicable and suitable for the marine domain.

Service-orientation is not only a means for systems integration, but also an architecture paradigm for building systems. Flexibility, adaptability and interoperability are some of the benefits derived from the adoption of SOA. These principles are often applied to build distributed systems. But whether SOA is applied or not, building a distributed system is still complex, what increases the demand on high-quality middleware to achieve success. This paper presents a runtime service integration architecture that enables distributed service interactions regardless the capabilities of the devices involved, i.e. to deal with services distribution over a heterogeneous network. The solution presented is built upon the OSGi service platform which has been leveraged with OSS middleware components to provide remote communications (with connectors and adaptors), service discovery, service binding and service publication. The development of this architecture is carried out within the ITEA OSIRIS Consortium and is being applied to industrial case studies; including a tax administration applications, service provisioning to residential environments and a mobile CRM.

Interactive digital TV (iDTV) plays an important role of the future home entertainment. There are a lot of differences between iDTV and traditional TV, such as protocols, standards and operations. The iDTV is more complicated and provides more applications. Under the framework of iDTV, it can provide interactive TV programs for users. An interactive TV program of a channel can bring one or more applications, and a user should choose and use the application. When a user chooses one TV program in a channel, he/she can not know other applications which go with programs in other channels. It means that a user is restricted to select applications of one channel. It is not convenient for a user who wants to watch channel A but also wants to uses the applications of channel B. This paper provides an new design of enhancement to solve the problem on the iDTV middleware. In addition, an extended iDTV program for personalization is also proposed to resolve resource conflict.
