ActorNet: An Actor Platform for Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview This paper presents actorNet, a mobile agent platform for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). WSNs are well-suited to multi-agent systems: agent autonomy reduces the need for communication, saving precious energy. Mobile agents are also an intuitive technique for remotely reprogramming sensors deployed in the field. However, implementing agent programs directly on a WSN is complicated by the many limitations of sensor nodes, including limited memory, slow processors, low bandwidth and finite energy. ActorNet eases development by providing an abstract environment for lightweight concurrent object-oriented mobile code on WSNs.

How to get an £80,000 NEC supercomputer for free

NEC's vector processors lack a cache memory found in PC processors, but make up for it in memory bandwidth - which, at 32 gigabytes per second, is an order of magnitude higher than most desktop processors.

PalmSource OS goes corporate

The design will enable features such as running only authorised programs, protecting memory from intrusive programs and using virtual private networks. Palm OS 5 was the first for a new generation of Palm OS devices that use the more powerful ARM...

IBM to sell supercomputing server

The p5-575 combines eight Power5 processors and as much as 32GB of memory into a computing slab 8.9cm tall, 61cm wide and 127cm deep. That means more high-speed cache memory and communication bandwidth is available for that core.

Dell touts energy-efficient servers

Energy efficiency has risen to the top of the agenda for server makers, given the increasing electricity demands of processors and other computing components, combined with rising power costs. The systems use higher-efficiency Intel processors...

Apple, open source and SaaS tipped to be tech future

Also, with Vista, Microsoft has created an operating system that requires more hardware, while the trend for these devices are to use slower, more energy efficient processors, along with more limited capacity flash memory.

IBM smashes the supercomputing petaflop

By connecting tens of thousands of computing nodes, they can work together simultaneously in a parallel fashion, just in the way that the brain does. Cell broadband engines, used in the Play Station 3 (PS3), work in conjunction with AMD x86...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
