Gerenciamento de configuração de dispositivos de rede através de NETCONF e Web Services

A configuração de dispositivos é uma tarefa crítica de gerenciamento, pois envolve alterações no estado da rede, da qual, cada vez mais, se exige um funcionamento com garantias de qualidade de serviço (QoS) e com um menor número possível de falhas ou interrupções. Por esse motivo, evidencia-se a importância do uso de protocolos adequados à tarefa de configuração. A opção natural e mais aceita atualmente, o protocolo SNMP, apresenta lacunas e falhas que o tornaram insuficiente para atender esses requisitos de configuração. Dentre os protocolos de configuração disponíveis na atualidade, destaca-se o NETCONF. Por outro lado, SOAP também pode ser usado para configuração e vem ganhando importância com a atual popularização dos Web Services, os quais proporcionam interoperabilidade entre aplicações Web. Enquanto o NETCONF é um protocolo específico para configurações, o SOAP é um protocolo genérico para realizar chamadas remotas de procedimentos (RPC). Ambos podem ser encapsulados em protocolos diferentes, formando arquiteturas de redes distintas. É importante notar que, pelo fato da proposta do protocolo NETCONF ser recente, tem-se poucos (ou talvez nenhum) resultados a respeito do desempenho do NETCONF e seus possíveis encapsulamentos. Uma questão importante que normalmente também surge neste contexto é a da real necessidade de um novo protocolo de configuração como o NETCONF, mediante a existência de um protocolo de uso geral já amplamente aceito como é o caso do SOAP. Nessa dissertação é discutido o uso de NETCONF e SOAP para a configuração de dispositivos. Além disso, são apresentados protótipos que implementam tais protocolos. Para tal, são considerados quatro cenários de gerenciamento utilizando arquiteturas de protocolos distintas que permitiram a realização de avaliações de desempenho dos mesmos em relação ao tempo de resposta e consumo de banda. O resultado dessas avaliações aliado ao estudo realizado sobre as tecnologias envolvidas não ajudou a justificar a existência do NETCONF, apesar da ligeira vantagem do NETCONF sobre o SOAP na questão de tempo de resposta, que pode ser explicada pelas diferentes linguagens de programação empregadas nas implementações. Concluiu-se que o NETCONF pode ser assim eficientemente substituído pelo protocolo SOAP sem perda de funcionalidades e com ganho em relação ao consumo de banda.

Mecanismos de segurança para um sistema cooperativo de armazenamento de arquivos baseado em P2P

Previous works have studied the characteristics and peculiarities of P2P networks, especially security information aspects. Most works, in some way, deal with the sharing of resources and, in particular, the storage of files. This work complements previous studies and adds new definitions relating to this kind of systems. A system for safe storage of files (SAS-P2P) was specified and built, based on P2P technology, using the JXTA platform. This system uses standard X.509 and PKCS # 12 digital certificates, issued and managed by a public key infrastructure, which was also specified and developed based on P2P technology (PKIX-P2P). The information is stored in a special file with XML format which is especially prepared, facilitating handling and interoperability among applications. The intention of developing the SAS-P2P system was to offer a complementary service for Giga Natal network users, through which the participants in this network can collaboratively build a shared storage area, with important security features such as availability, confidentiality, authenticity and fault tolerance. Besides the specification, development of prototypes and testing of the SAS-P2P system, tests of the PKIX-P2P Manager module were also performed, in order to determine its fault tolerance and the effective calculation of the reputation of the certifying authorities participating in the system

Um ambiente multi-middleware para desenvolvimento de aplicações distribuídas

This work presents a proposal of a multi-middleware environment to develop distributed applications, which abstracts different underlying middleware platforms. This work describes: (i) the reference architecture designed for the environment, (ii) an implementation which aims to validate the specified architecture integrating CORBA and EJB, (iii) a case study illustrating the use of the environment, (iv) a performance analysis. The proposed environment allows interoperability on middleware platforms, allowing the reuse of components of different kinds of middleware platforms in a transparency away to the developer and without major losses in performance. Also in the implementation we developed an Eclipse plugin which allows developers gain greater productivity at developing distributed applications using the proposed environment

Introdução a ontologias e suas aplicações

Different vocabularies and contexts are barriers to the communication between people or software systems. It is necessary a common understanding in the domain that is talked about, so it can be obtained a correct interpretation of the information. An ontology formally models the structure of a domain and turn explicit the shared understanding in the form of concepts and relations that emerge from its observation. Constitutes a sort of framework used in the mapping to the meaning of the information that is talked about. The formal accuracy in which they are defined, by means of axioms, allow machine processing, implicating in systems interoperability. Structured this way, the knowledge is easily transferred between people or systems from different contexts. Ontologies present several applications nowadays. They are considered the infra-structure to the Semantic Web, which is composed by Web resources with embedded meaning. Thereby, the automatic execution of complex tasks is allowed, with the benefit from the effective communication between Web software agents. Among other applications, they also have been used to structure the knowledge generated from several areas, like Biology and Software Engineering.

PARAFAC: uma ferramenta quimiométrica para tratamento de dados multidimensionais. Aplicações na determinação direta de fármacos em plasma humano por espectrofluorimetria

Since the last decade, the combined use of chemometrics and molecular spectroscopic techniques has become a new alternative for direct drug determination, without the need of physical separation. Among the new methodologies developed, the application of PARAFAC in the decomposition of spectrofluorimetric data should be highlighted. The first objective of this article is to describe the theoretical basis of PARAFAC. For this purpose, a discussion about the order of chemometric methods used in multivariate calibration and the development of multi-dimensional methods is presented first. The other objective of this article is to divulge for the Brazilian chemical community the potential of the combination PARAFAC/spectrofluorimetry for the determination of drugs in complex biological matrices. For this purpose, two applications aiming at determining, respectively, doxorrubicine and salicylate in human plasma are presented.

Polímeros biomiméticos em química analítica. Parte 1: preparo e aplicações de MIP (Molecularly Imprinted Polymers) em técnicas de extração e separação

MIPs are synthetic polymers that are used as biomimetic materials simulating the mechanism verified in natural entities such as antibodies and enzymes. Although MIPs have been successfully used as an outstanding tool for enhancing the selectivity or different analytical approaches, such as separation science and electrochemical and optical sensors, several parameters must be optimized during their synthesis. Therefore, the state-of-the-art of MIP production as well as the different polymerization methods are discussed. The potential selectivity of MIPs in the extraction and separation techniques focusing mainly on environmental, clinical and pharmaceutical samples as applications for analytical purposes is presented.

Sistemas aquosos bifásicos: fundamentos e aplicações para partição/purificação de proteínas

By the year 2005 the world biochemical market will reach an estimated $ 100 billion and separation processes are a vital link between lab discoveries and the fulfillment of this commercialization potential. The practical application of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) to extraction processes has been exploited for several years for the recovery of biological products. Unfortunately, this has not resulted in an extensive presence of the technique in commercial processes. In this paper a critical overview of the fundamental thermodynamic properties related to formation of aqueous two-phase systems and their application to extraction and purification of bioparticules is presented.

Pectinases: aplicações industriais e perspectivas

Pectic substances are structural heteropolysaccharides that occur in the middle lamellae and primary cell walls of higher plants. They are composed of partially methyl-esterified galacturonic acid residues linked by alpha-1, 4-glycosidic bonds. Pectinolytic enzymes are complex enzymes that degrade pectic polymers and there are several classes of enzymes, which include pectin esterases, pectin and pectate lyases and polygalacturonases. Plants, filamentous fungi, bacteria and yeasts are able to produce pectinases. In the industrial world, pectinases are used in fruit juice clarification, in the production of wine, in the extraction of olive oil, fiber degumming and fermentation of tea, coffee and cocoa.
