A Low Consumption Real Time Environmental Monitoring System for Smart Cities based on ZigBee Wireless Sensor Network

Nowadays, there is an increasing interest in wireless sensor networks (WSN) for environmental monitoring systems because it can be used to improve the quality of life and living conditions are becoming a major concern to people. This paper describes the design and development of a real time monitoring system based on ZigBee WSN characterized by a lower energy consumption, low cost, reduced dimensions and fast adaptation to the network tree topology. The developed system encompasses an optimized sensing process about environmental parameters, low rate transmission from sensor nodes to the gateway, packet parsing and data storing in a remote database and real time visualization through a web server.

Performance evaluation of a parallel algorithm for simultaneous untangling and smoothing of tetrahedral meshes

[EN]A new parallel algorithm for simultaneous untangling and smoothing of tetrahedral meshes is proposed in this paper. We provide a detailed analysis of its performance on shared-memory many-core computer architectures. This performance analysis includes the evaluation of execution time, parallel scalability, load balancing, and parallelism bottlenecks. Additionally, we compare the impact of three previously published graph coloring procedures on the performance of our parallel algorithm. We use six benchmark meshes with a wide range of sizes. Using these experimental data sets, we describe the behavior of the parallel algorithm for different data sizes. We demonstrate that this algorithm is highly scalable when it runs on two different high-performance many-core computers with up to 128 processors...

Diseño e instalación de un servicio web de tienda virtual en alta disponibilidad

[ES]Diseño e instalación de un servicio web de tienda virtual en un entorno de computación en clúster para proporcionar alta disponibilidad y balanceo de carga del mencionado servicio. La infraestructura requerida para este despliegue será virtual, utilizándose como plataforma de virtualización KVM. Las tareas se organizan en : 1.Tareas para la creación de un clúster de balanceo de carga donde una máquina será la encargada de recibir las peticiones de los clientes y de redirigirlas a los servidores web según la carga de éstos. 2. Tareas para la creación de un clúster de alta disponibilidad para que en caso de fallo siempre haya un servidor de base de datos que pueda atender a las peticiones de los servidores web.
