El seminari es composa de dues sessions enmarcades dins de l’assignatura EEDC del master CANS i són obertes als estudiants de la FIB . Les presentacions es faran en Català.

Ponents : Marc Domingo, Alexandre Vaqué , Pablo Juárez , Joan Guisado , Jordà Polo

Contingut:

• Internet of Things: We will present Internet of Things (IoT), a network formed by all objects surrounded us, and Web of Things (WoT), the integration of physical things with the Web. Furthermore, the current state and open problems are analysed. Finally, is introduced Cloud Computing as a partner for these technologies to offer valuable support dealing with large, dynamic and distributed data sets.
• Virtualized Plartforms: Virtualization, Green Computing, infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), service providers, middleware, hybrid clouds, virtualized environments, Federation, Elasticity, Consolidation, Adaptability.
• Distributed File Systems: This presentation is an overview of distributed file systems (DFS). It starts with a characterization of DFS: what makes a set of nodes become a distributed file system? Basically there three main aspects: the namespace, the global access and the security. We will analyze each of them and we will see how real distributed systems resolve this aspects. Following, we will see the capabilities that DFS have: fault tolerance, scalable and high-performance systems. We will examine how different DFS, as Google File System or Hadoop are designed in order to take the maximum advantage of those capabilities that DFS have.
• Large-scale Data Handling and Processing: This presentation is focused on large-scale data intensive applications and services, the frameworks that run underneath, as mapreduce, and how they work in cloud computing platforms.
• Security in the Cloud: Some years ago we visualize the Cloud Computing how the best solution for our times, began to be the way of how to get the full potential of our computer equipment and give productivity that we have not met in previous years. Almost at the same time we realized the impact of our surroundings, and the negative effects on the environment, and appeared Green Computing. And the concern for a department where the energy consumption for example, can represent the ability of a data center, is some that we does to think about IT Security.
