Future applications and platforms will be context-sensitive, adaptive, personalized and need to be run, in a reasonable and secure manner, on variety of execution environments: anywhere, anyhow, anytime, by anyone. Textile industry in the world is growing, as we advance into the knowledge age, objects and material technology will disappear into our material environment, turning unintelligent objects into active and intelligent. The market has also been boosted by changes in consumer lifestyles. This study addresses an emerging recent advance new field of research that combines the strengths and capabilities of electronics and textiles in one, electronics and information and wireless communication technologies will give rise to the area of intelligent textile. Success of wireless communications and mobile devices are stressing the need for the development of mobility-aware services and use them anywhere, anyhow, anytime, by anyone. Need to design middleware architecture to ease mobility-aware service development, and develop new systems which monitor any machine, anywhere, anyhow, anytime, by anyone. Using wireless technology and machine data may be accessed from anywhere, anyhow, anytime, by anyone in the Wireless-World.

Users-Grid: A Unique and Transparent Grid-Operating System
Author(s): Raihan Ur Rasool

Grid computing, which emerged as a result of rapid development in high speed networking is regarded as the prototype of next-generation cyber infrastructure for science. It enabled collective use of globally distributed resources and came up as a huge problem-solving environment. Besides the inherent challenges of distributed computing, it presents some new challenges including, how the research professionals, who are not computer expert and normal users who just want to get benefit from Grid without taking care of its complexities can be motivated to adopt new and more complex way of working. In this paper we have presented our idea and architecture of ‘Users-Grid’. Utilizing Agent Technology and with its Service-Oriented architecture it will provide computing power transparently and easily. It gives the feature of true virtualization. It will be helpful to not only research communities and academia but also to business users.

An overview of Geographic Restriction Mobility Models
Author(s): Ibrahim Khider, Wang Furong, Yin ., Sacko –

In this paper, we present and visit the limitation of Random mobility model, the unconstraint motion of mobile node. Mobile nodes, in the Random Waypoint and Random walk mobility models, are allowed to move freely and randomly anywhere in the simulation field. However, in most real life applications, we observe that a node’s movement is subject to the environment. In particular, the motions of vehicles are bounded to the freeways or local streets in the urban area, and on campus the pedestrians may be blocked by the buildings and other obstacles. Therefore, the nodes may move in a pseudo-random way on predefined pathways in the simulation field. Some recent works address this characteristic and integrate the paths and obstacles into mobility models. We call this kind of mobility model a mobility model with geographic restriction.

A Fast and Efficient Strategy for Sub-mesh Allocation with Minimal Allocation Overhead in 3D Mesh Connected Multicomputers
Author(s): Saad Bani

This paper presents a fast and efficient contiguous allocation strategy for 3D mesh multicomputers, referred to as Turning Busy List (TBL for short), which can identify a free sub-mesh of the requested size as long as it exists in the mesh system. Turning means that the orientation of the allocation request is changed when no sub-mesh is available in the requested orientation. The TBL strategy relies on a new approach that maintains a list of allocated sub-meshes to determine all the regions consisting of nodes that cannot be used as base nodes for the requested sub-mesh. These nodes are then subtracted from the right border plane of the allocated sub-meshes to find the nodes that can be used as base nodes for the required sub-mesh size. Results fromextensive simulations under a variety of system loads confirm that the TBL strategy incurs much less allocation overhead than all of the existing contiguous allocation strategies for 3D mesh multicomputers and delivers competitive performance in terms of parameters such as the average turnaround times and system utilization. Moreover, the time complexity of the TBL strategy is much lower than that of the existing strategies.
