Distributed Computing and Internet Technology

Abstract

egov.iist.unu.edu. In the tradition of the ICDCIT conference series, ICDCIT 2010 welcomed presentations of research ideas and results in theory, methodology and applications of distributed computing and Internet technology. In addition, the conference emphasized that research in this area can play an important role in building a foundation for the development of e-Society Applications (e-Applications) and at the same time, that e-Applications can provide the relevance and context for such research. Establishing a connection between foundational and applied research in distributed systems and Internet technology with software and services that enable e-Applications was a key feature of ICDCIT 2010.A total of 91 papers were submitted for ICDCIT 2010. , with four invited papers received. The current proceedings are divided into six corresponding sections:1. Section 1 -Invited Papers includes four papers. The paper "Transactional Memory Today" by Maurice Herlihy presents the author's perspective on the nature of the transactional memory mechanism and the problem it is expected to address. The paper "Maintaining Coherent Views over Dynamic Distributed Data" by Krithi Ramamritham presents a scalable technique for executing continuous queries over dynamic data while making sure that correct results are always presented to users. The paper "Malware: From Modelling to Practical Detection" by R.K. Shyamasundar, co-authored with Harshit Shah and N.V. Narendra Kumar, surveys a theory behind malware in order to identify the challenges behind its detection, and proposes a new approach to malware detection. The paper "Semantic Frameworks-Meanings in the Architecture" by Jim Davies, co-authored with Jeremy Gibbons, VI Preface explains how the use of semantic technologies and model-driven engineering can greatly reduce the cost of consistency and coordination in software development, in system integration and in continuous interactions with users.2. Section 2 -Networking comprises five papers. The paper "Fuzzy-Controlled Source-Initiated Multicasting (FSIM) in Ad Hoc Networks" by Anuradha Banerjee and Paramartha Dutta proposes an intelligent multicast routing scheme that takes into account estimated network evolution in terms of residual energy, link stability, position of receivers in the multicast tree, etc. The paper "On Optimal Space Tessellation with Deterministic Deployment for Coverage in Three-Dimensional Wireless Sensor Networks" by Manas Kumar Mishra and M. M. Gore identifies a model for optimal coverage in three-dimensional wireless sensor networks, with the best trade-off between performance and the number of nodes. The paper "Seamless Handoff between IEEE 802.11 and GPRS Networks" by Dhananjay Kotwal Maushumi Barooah and Sukumar Nandi proposes a new scheme that provides seamless mobility between GPRS and IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) networks. The paper "A proposes a new data-gathering scheme for remote wireless sensor networks that offers the best energy and delay performance compared with existing popular schemes. Organiza...
