This year, SC12 will not only showcase the next generation of high performance computing applications but it will also be home to seven innovative network research projects through a special program called the SCinet Research Sandbox (SRS).
SCinet is the primary high performance network infrastructure built each year for SC exhibitors to highlight their cutting edge computing applications and collaborations. As a key component of SCinet, the SRS is designed to enable researchers to experiment and demonstrate their ideas on innovative network architectures, applications and protocols in the unique live environment of the SCinet network. This year, the SRS will provide researchers with dedicated access to multiple 100 Gigabits per second wide area network links as well as a 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) OpenFlow network testbed.
"In addition to supporting the extreme demands of the HPC-based demonstrations that have become the trademark of the conference, SCinet also seeks to foster and highlight developments in network research that will be necessary to support the next-generation of science applications," said Brian Tierney, SRS co-chair for SC12 and head of ESnet's Advanced Network Technologies Group. "Both 100 Gbps networking and OpenFlow have become some of the most influential networking technologies of this decade. SRS allows the community to showcase innovations on these platforms while in their infancy to demonstrate the impact they may have on the entire HPC community in the future."
"Openflow has the potential to greatly improve applications that are necessary for advancements in HPC such as GridFTP and others. By allowing these applications to access the network in a highly intelligent and programmable manner, OpenFlow can significantly improve end-to-end network performance especially for bulk data transfers, which will be an increasingly difficult challenge in the era of data intensive science," said Andrew Lee, SRS co-chair for SC12 and Principal Network Systems Engineer for the Global Research Network Operations Center at Indiana University. "Demonstrations like those being supported by the SCinet Research Sandbox are laying the groundwork for these critical advancements as well as demonstrating to the community - in a tangible way - the possibilities that Openflow provides."
Seven projects have been selected as part of the SRS program, all of which will be showcased as part of the Technical Program and will be demonstrating their research in several exhibit booths during the conference.

2012 SRS projects include:
Efficient LHC Data Distribution across 100Gbps Networks
The analysis of data leading to the recent discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces data flows of more than 100 Petabytes per year, and increasingly relies on the efficient movement of data sets between the globally distributed computing sites. The team will demonstrate the state-of-the-art data movement tools, as enabling technology for high-throughput data distribution over 100Gbps WAN circuits. The demo will interconnect three major LHC Tier-2 computing sites and the SC12 show floor (booth 809) using 100Gbps technology.

Exploiting Network Parallelism for Improving Data Transfer Performance
The task of scientific bulk data movement, e.g. migrating collected results from the instrumentation to the processing and storage facilities, is hampered by a lack of available network resources. Traditional R&E connectivity can be congested on portions of an end-to-end path causing degradation of overall performance. This SRS project will explore dynamic network control to facilitate efficient bulk data movement, combining opportunistic use of "traditional" networks with dedicated reservations over virtual circuits and OpenFlow enabled resources. The GridFTP application has been instrumented with the eXtensible Session Protocol (XSP), an intelligent system capable of controlling programmable networks. The project intends to show end-to-end performance improvement between the SC12 conference and campuses involved in the DYNES project, through a combination of regular connectivity, dynamic bandwidth allocations, TCP acceleration, and operations using multiple paths.

Multipathing with MPTCP and OpenFlow
This demo shows several emerging network technologies and how these can be used in big data transfers between data centers. In this demonstration traffic is sent simultaneously across multiple OpenFlow controlled paths between Geneva and Salt Lake City. The congestion control mechanism of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) favours the least congested paths and ensures that the load balancing across the paths is always optimal.

Next Generation Science DMZ Model with OpenFlow
The emerging era of "Big Science" demands the highest possible network performance. End-to-end circuit automation and workflow-driven customization are two essential capabilities needed for networks to scale to meet this challenge. This demonstration showcases how combining software-defined networking techniques with virtual circuits capabilities can transform the network into a dynamic, customer-configurable virtual switch. In doing so, users are able to rapidly customize network capabilities to meet their unique workflows with little to no configuration effort. The demo also highlights how the network can be automated to support multiple collaborations in parallel.

OpenFlow Enabled Hadoop over Local and Wide Area Clusters
The Hadoop Distributed File Systems and Hadoop's implementation of MapReduce is one of the most widely used platforms for data intensive computing. The shuffle and sort phases of a MapReduce computation often saturate network links to nodes and the reduce phase of the computation must wait for data. This study explores the use of OpenFlow to the control network configuration for different flows to thereby provide different network characteristics for different categories of Hadoop traffic.

OpenFlow Services for Science: An International Experimental Research Network
Large-scale data intensive science requires global collaboration and sophisticated high capacity data management. The emergence of more flexible networking, for example, using techniques based on OpenFlow, provides opportunities to address these issues because these techniques enable a high degree of network customization and dynamic provisioning. These techniques enable large-scale facilities to be created that can be used to prototype new architecture, services, protocols, and technologies. A number of research organizations from several countries have designed and implemented a persistent international experimental research facility that can be used to prototype, investigate, and test network innovations for large-scale global science. For SC12, this international experimental network facility will be extended to from sites across the world to the conference showfloor, and it will be used to support several testbeds and to showcase a series of complementary demonstrations.

"I'm really just trying to make a solid album and brush the dust off of Music For People," Johnsons says. "The last record I released was six months before I started playing with One Hand Loves the Other, so it has been a while. I have to exercise the electronica."
Judging by this teaser medley, the album will indeed be centered around a heavy-duty dose of classic electronica, but there are plenty of open spaces for vocals, guitar parts and various percussive excursions to give the songs direction as well. It's also undeniable that the few scenes from the new record he's offering here are a lot more polished than the aesthetically dirty sound of MFP's previous releases, but there are some noisier moments tucked away in the cracks, waiting to sprout.
All of this is a vast departure from the typically brittle nature of Johnson's other band, Tealights. In May, Johnson's cohort — and former Sorry No Ferrari guitarist — Brett Kelly explained that the new Tealights record will be based on a collection of African folklore that hasn't ever been properly translated into English. No release date has been announced yet, and it's probably going to be a minute on that one.
In the meantime, this file (below) shows off the MFP album's skeletal structure, weaving glitch and pop forms together in some interesting ways. But it's just a glimpse at the shape of things to come in September when the album drops via Bandcamp.

text: Law Stories regarding the legal system $680,000 in fake championship rings seized at Detroit airport By Rebecca Kruth • Jun 16, 2016 U.S. Customs and Border Protection Pro athletes: If you're going to put a ring on it, make sure you've got the real thing. Customs and Border Protection officials say they seized $680,000 worth of counterfeit sports championship rings at Detroit Metropolitan Airport last April. The rings were found in a shipment that originated on a flight from China. They had the names and logos of several pro sports teams, including the Oakland Raiders, the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. MI Legalize challenges 180-day signature rule By Rick Pluta • Jun 16, 2016 USFWS The campaign trying to legalize marijuana in Michigan has filed a lawsuit challenging the state's six-month time limit to gather petition signatures. The MI Legalize drive is still trying to either get the Legislature to adopt a law or place the question on the November ballot after its petitions were rejected by a state elections board last week because too many signatures were too old under the 180-day rule. M-I Legalize attorney Jeff Hank says what the state's doing is not allowed. Study: "Ban the Box" laws increase employer racial discrimination By Rebecca Kruth • Jun 16, 2016 Flazingo Photos / Creative Commons http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Laws that ban criminal background questions on job applications have backfired, according to a study from the University of Michigan and Princeton University. So-called "Ban the Box" laws are meant to give job seekers with criminal records a better shot at finding employment. The study suggests that while such policies may produce that outcome, they also increase racial discrimination by employers. U of M researcher and study co-author Sonja Starr says this unintended outcome relates to a theory called "statistical discrimination." Feds sue Michigan Department of Corrections over treatment of female guards By Rick Pluta • Jun 14, 2016 Kevin Rosseel / morguefile The Michigan Department of Corrections faces a U.S. Justice Department lawsuit that alleges sex discrimination against female guards at the state's only prison for women. The lawsuit is based on 28 complaints filed by female officers who work, or once worked, at the Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility near Ypsilanti. The lawsuit says the corrections department is stretching its female workforce too thin by assigning women to jobs that can be handled by male guards because they don't involve direct or private contact with inmates. In blow to Schuette, SCOTUS declines to take up second challenge to pollution rules By Sarah Cwiek • Jun 13, 2016 (Courtesy of the Michigan Attorney General's office) The U.S. Supreme Court has stymied the Michigan Attorney General's second bid to put some new air pollution rules on hold. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette spearheaded a case, Michigan v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, that challenged the EPA's proposed Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. Those rules limit mercury and other toxic emissions from power plants. In 2015, the Supreme Court handed Schuette a victory when it narrowly ruled the EPA didn't properly consider the cost to polluters when making the rule. Lance Armstrong to join cyclists honoring 5 killed in Michigan By The Associated Press • Jun 12, 2016 steve carmody / Michigan Radio KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) - Lance Armstrong plans to be in Kalamazoo for a "Finishing the Ride" event in honor of the five cyclists killed when they were hit by a pickup truck. Armstrong told the Detroit Free Press the collision on June 7 in Kalamazoo County's Cooper Township, 160 miles from Chicago, is the worst he's seen and he's not sure he's emotionally ready for the ride. Armstrong says a fear of being struck by a vehicle is shared by all cyclists. Armstrong plans to join Kalamazoo-area cyclists in a 28.5-mile ride Tuesday from Kalamazoo to Plainwell and back. Bills aim to prevent assaults on Michiganders with disabilities By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jun 11, 2016 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio There are new efforts in Michigan to crack down on those who hurt people with special needs. Rep. Frank Liberati, a Democrat, and Sen. Rick Jones, a Republican, have sponsored bills that would increase penalties for assaulting a person with a developmental disability. Jones says people with disabilities can often have difficulty caring for themselves and protecting themselves. And he contends all Michiganders deserve to live with respect and dignity. Bill to conduct roadside drug testing pilot heads to Snyder By The Associated Press • Jun 11, 2016 steve carmody / Michigan Radio LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A plan to create a pilot roadside drug-testing program in five of the state's counties will soon be on its way to Gov. Rick Snyder. The Legislature approved bills Thursday that would allow law enforcement officers who are trained to recognize impairment due to drugs or alcohol to test drivers' saliva. The state police would choose five counties to start the yearlong pilot program. A bill analysis says the results of the roadside saliva test could be allowed as evidence in criminal prosecutions or administrative hearings in some cases.

They'll be celebrating Loving Day this Sunday in Grand Rapids with a full day of film, music and theater from the Ebony Road Players, a Grand Rapids theater company. Freed Davontae Sanford knows he faces a tough road, "but the hard part is over" By Sarah Cwiek • Jun 9, 2016 Sarah Cwiek / Michigan Radio A young Detroit man who spent nine years in prison for crimes he didn't commit says he's ready to make a new life for himself. Davontae Sanford was just 14 when he confessed to four murders. But a hit man confessed to the same crimes just a year later. Advocates for the wrongfully incarcerated have fought to free him ever since. This week, following a Michigan State Police re-investigation of the case, a judge vacated Sanford's convictions and freed him. Battle Creek man charged in crash that killed five cyclists By The Associated Press • Jun 9, 2016 Matthew Peoples / Creative Commons http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 A Michigan prosecutor has charged 50-year-old Charles Edward Pickett Jr. with five counts of second degree murder after a pickup truck crashed into a group of bicyclists and killed five people. Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeffrey Getting also charged him Thursday with four counts of reckless driving resulting in serious injury to four others near Kalamazoo. The bicyclists were part of a group that called themselves "The Chain Gang," who ranged in age from 40 to 74. Marijuana legalization campaign headed to court By Rick Pluta • Jun 9, 2016 user A7nubis / http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM A state elections board has rejected petitions filed by the campaign to legalize marijuana in Michigan. The action by the Board of State Canvassers tees up a court battle over time limits for petition drives to gather signatures. Thomas Lavigne is an attorney with MI Legalize. He says a requirement that petition campaigns collect signatures within a 180-day period violates the state constitution. He says the framers did not envision this sort of barrier. Wayne County prosecutor defends handling of Davontae Sanford case By Sarah Cwiek • Jun 9, 2016 waynecounty.com Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy defended her office's handling of the Davontae Sanford case today. Sanford confessed to four Detroit murders in 2007, when he was just 14 years old. But a judge overturned Sanford's convictions and freed him this week. Worthy says that became possible only after a recent Michigan State Police investigation she requested found a Detroit police officer lied about key aspects of Sanford's confession. Questions about Sanford's guilt arose as early as 2008, when a hit man named Vincent Smothers confessed to the same crimes. Davontae Sanford case a "complete and utter failure of the criminal justice system" By Stateside Staff • Jun 8, 2016 Michigan Department of Corrections He was just 14 years old when he confessed to and was convicted of a quadruple murder. But today, 23-year-old Davontae Sanford walks out of Ionia State Prison a free man. His conviction was vacated Tuesday by Wayne County Circuit Judge Brian Sullivan, who agreed with arguments that Sanford's case had all the hallmarks of a false confession. David Moran is with the Michigan Innocence Clinic and was co-counsel on this case. Bill would compensate wrongfully convicted, offer services after release By Rick Pluta • Jun 8, 2016 Shayan Sanyal / http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM Legislation up for a vote in the state Senate tomorrow would compensate felons who are exonerated for the time they were wrongfully imprisoned. It would allow $50,000 for every year of wrongful incarceration. It would also offer aftercare services to freed inmates. State Sen. Steve Bieda, D-Warren, says Michigan is one just a handful of states that does not compensate people for wrongful imprisonment. He says it offers a measure of justice. Crime is on the decline in Grand Rapids, according to annual report By Bryce Huffman • Jun 8, 2016 morguefile Grand Rapids saw a drop in serious crime between 2014 and 2015. The department's annual report says violent crimes dropped 9.5%. David Rahinsky is the Grand Rapids police chief. He says this drop in crime is a result of the department having built trust and rapport with the community. "I think we recognize that the issues that confront us now are not issues that we're going to arrest our way out of," Rahinsky says. "They are issues of relationships, they're issues of trust." Ex-Flint police chief could face criminal charges in wrongful conviction case By Sarah Cwiek • Jun 7, 2016 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Flint's fired police chief may face criminal charges for his involvement in the wrongful conviction of a Detroit teen nine years ago. James Tolbert was Detroit's Deputy Police Chief in 2007. That's when 14-year-old Davontae Sanford supposedly confessed to murdering four people. Sanford was convicted in 2008. But serious questions about the case arose soon after, when a confessed hit man named Vincent Smothers said he had committed the crimes -- and had never heard of Sanford. Judge clears Davontae Sanford of four murders, orders him freed By Sarah Cwiek • Jun 7, 2016 Michigan Department of Corrections After spending eight years in prison, a Detroit man convicted of murdering four people has been cleared and ordered released. Davontae Sanford confessed to the murders in 2007, when he was just 14. But soon after Sanford's conviction, a hit man confessed to the same crimes, and insisted Sanford was not involved. Now, following a Michigan State Police re-investigation of the case, Wayne County Judge Brian Sullivan has vacated Sanford's convictions, and ordered him released immediately. Prosecutor Kym Worthy had agreed to dismiss Sanford's case Tuesday morning. Court fight looms over marijuana ballot drive By Rick Pluta • Jun 7, 2016 Jake Neher / Michigan Public Radio Network The state Elections Bureau says the petition drive to legalize marijuana in Michigan has failed to gather enough signatures needed to qualify for the ballot. The bureau rejected many of the signatures because they were gathered outside a 180-day window for collecting names of registered voters. The bureau's recommendation will be voted on Thursday by the Michigan Board of State Canvassers. Fred Woodhams is spokesman for the elections bureau. He says many of the signatures turned in were gathered outside the 180-day window for collecting names of registered voters. Obama reduces sentence of Detroit-area man with drug crime By The Associated Press • Jun 4, 2016 steve carmody / Michigan Radio DETROIT (AP) - President Barack Obama has shaved years off a Detroit-area man's sentence for a drug crime. Kareem Martin has been in prison since 2007. His 23-year sentence now will expire in 2018. Obama commuted the sentence Friday along with the sentences of 41 others. In 2006, Martin pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver cocaine. Federal Judge Lawrence Zatkoff noted a "long history of criminal conduct" and said a "significant sentence" was appropriate. Attorneys hope new evidence will free man convicted in 1992 murder By Rebecca Kruth • Jun 2, 2016 Flickr user Jack / Creative Commons http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM The Michigan Innocence Clinic has filed a motion asking for relief from judgment for a man convicted of murdering his friend in Detroit 24 years ago. Attorneys say new evidence and problems with ballistics testing raise questions when it comes to Desmond Ricks' guilt in the 1992 case. Judge blocks state from taking over East Detroit schools By The Associated Press • May 30, 2016 flickr user Joe Gratz A judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing the state School Reform Office from appointing a chief executive officer to oversee four academically low-performing East Detroit Public Schools. Macomb County Circuit Judge Joseph Toia ruled Friday there is a risk that allowing a takeover would cause the school district "irreparable harm." He has scheduled a hearing on the issue for June 13. Local governments could recoup millions from appeals court ruling By Rick Pluta • May 27, 2016 Daniel Incandela / flickr http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Local governments are cheering a state Court of Appeals decision that could mean millions of dollars in property taxes. Big box retailers like Lowes, Menards, and Meijer have successfully argued that assessors should look at vacant stores to determine their value. The strategy has led to dramatically lower taxes. Critics say it's a tax dodge that's not fair to other taxpayers who have to pay more in fees and tax millages. Court updates Michigan rules to curb pay-or-stay sentences By The Associated Press • May 26, 2016 MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT / COURT.MI.GOV DETROIT – The Michigan Supreme Court has announced amendments to state rules aimed at keeping people from jail time because they can't pay court fines or fees. The Detroit News reports changes announced Wednesday take effect Sept. 1. The court says job status, available cash, basic living expenses and other special circumstances can be considered. Earlier this year, a Detroit-area judge accused of sending poor people to jail if they couldn't immediately pay fines agreed to end so-called pay-or-stay sentences after an American Civil Liberties Union challenge.

Bill going to governor would make coerced abortion a crime in Michigan By The Associated Press • May 25, 2016 LANSING – Coercing a woman to have an abortion would be a misdemeanor in Michigan, under a bill sent to Gov. Rick Snyder. The Senate approved the legislation, 26-11, Wednesday with all Democrats and one Republican voting against it.

Charges filed against kin in shootings of 2 Detroit kids By The Associated Press • May 25, 2016 HTTP://WWW.WAYNECOUNTY.COM/PROSECUTOR/ DETROIT – Charges have been filed in two shootings that killed a child and injured another in Detroit.

Her grandparents were charged Wednesday with involuntary manslaughter and other crimes. UP senator sponsors bill on bathroom use by transgender kids By The Associated Press • May 25, 2016 TomCasperson.com LANSING – A Michigan senator has introduced legislation that could stop transgender students from using bathrooms that don't match their "biological sex."

But the accommodation can't include a bathroom, locker room or shower used by students "of the opposite biological sex." Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof says the legislation is not a priority for the Senate. It's been assigned to a committee. 2 ex-lawmakers in sex scandal face key hearing in case By The Associated Press • May 25, 2016 Courser/Gamrat websites LANSING – Two Michigan lawmakers who were forced from office in a sex scandal face a key hearing on charges that they committed felony misconduct in office.

DEFINITION of 'Form ADV'
A required submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by a professional investment advisor that specifies the investment style, assets under management (AUM), and key officers of the firm. The form must be updated annually and available as public record for companies managing in excess of $25 million.
If past disciplinary action has been taken against the advisor, this must be noted in the first section of a Form ADV. The second section deals with the AUM, investment strategy, fee arrangements and service offerings of the firm.
BREAKING DOWN 'Form ADV'
Potential and current clients of an investment advisor should always review the Form ADV on file, as it provides transparent evidence of the asset mix within the firm, as well as the professional background of key personnel.
Most advisors will offer a current Form ADV to any potential client early in the marketing process; in fact, investors should be immediately cautious of an advisor that does not freely offer the form upon request.

Hey maybe that's the way to get the terrorist to come out of hiding.... put on a play offensive to Muslims, and when they come to blow the place up just - capture them...
#2 Sep 29, 2006
I have a better idea...Bomb their gatherings, like the Hamas rally reported on today.
#3 Sep 29, 2006
Where ever they gather in large numbers should be bombed, the hole in the ground should also equal the size of the crowd in circumfrence. Marches, parades, protests, they are terrorists, their public words at such gatherings prove that.
I don't think they are to eager to mess around with those Germans.

Different MTF scales on photozone.de: how to compare them?
Jun 15, 2014
I happen to have Nikon 70-300mm and want to buy 70-200mm F4.
I know the 70-300 is pretty sharp in the range 70-200, so it would be interesting to me to compare it with the 70-200mm, which is said to be very sharp.
Looking at the photozone.de MTF curves:
I understand they were measured with different techniques and different scale: so how to compare them? What is good in one diagram is bad in the other...
P.S.: had a loook at the imatest explanations but got lost..

Great salad! It's tasty and filling and much easier to prepare than rolling actual California rolls. I used sushi rice and spring mix lettuce. I didn't use the pickled ginger, but I did sprinkle sesame seeds over the salad to serve. Thanx for sharing this!
This was great! I brought it to a staff lunch and everyone was asking me about it!

why do you choose headphones? - Page 6post #76 of 1073/5/10 at 11:53pmMainly because i dont have the space or the funds to buy the magnepan speakers that i want, and all the associated electronics for them. But i actually think that my jh-13's sound better than the maggies, just there is something about speakers, and feeling the music. Though i do love being able to move around and do things while listening with perfect sound, which cant be done with speakers.

I use headphones because I live in a small apartment, and I'm up all night every night. If I blared my speakers at the volume that I'd like, there's no way my neighbors would get any sleep. Also, to get speakers to sound GOOD in my room would require some kind of acoustic treatment I'm sure; with headphones I never have to worry about that.post #80 of 1073/6/10 at 3:28am

that said:
some denon in-ears for my ipod, because for when i wanna travel light + want something better than CX300s - will probably upgrade later (& i'm still debating with myself IEMs vs cans... for this reason i held off buying proper IEMs);
HD25-1s i needed for mixer / other electronic equipments, & i chose them for the sturdy / closed design pushing bass directly into my ears - though have found they go well with ipod too
HD595 for home listening & for my laptop, wouldn't call myself an audiophile but did my research & when they were at discount, could not refuse.
without the need for isolation, i find myself swapping duties with these & HD25-1.
i would say the main reason for me choosing cans over IEMs (mostly) is because i always seem to be fiddling with the damn in-ears getting them to fit, so i'm reluctant to spend so much if i can't get them to fit right. IEM fit is critical imo, you need to get the right seal AND perfect balance between L&R overwise you go mad. with cans you can just plonk them on yer head, adjust once for the sweet-spot then you're done.post #82 of 1073/6/10 at 1:43pm

Because it give a different presentation of the music than speakers, you don't have to worry about speakers placement and more importantly -for me- you can use them while relaxing on a bed/sofa with closed eyes and really get involved in the music.
But i use them rarely, speakers are better in almost every way.

I like both; headphones for.... the high quality sound.... the overall intimacy I get with me and my music. Everything is right there and I can walk around, become mobile, and get this sound wherever I am (granted only if it's quiet).
I only listen to speakers when I want to feel the music; electronic/rap/rock/hip hop/metal.... the genres that I want to blast as loud as I can. I use speakers for that.post #90 of 1076/6/10 at 12:31pm

I use headphones for watching movies and listening to music during night when everyone is sleeping. I like to have my movies and music loud; therefore with headphones, I won't wake up people in the household. Also, I find headphones provide better comfort and sound quality than IEMs.Return HomeBack to Forum: Headphones (full-size)

A view from the clouds: Cloud computing for developers
Value with IBM Amazon Machine Images
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  db2 amazon_machine_image ec2 cloud_computing websphere_smash 3,563 Views
About two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to work with the WebSphere sMash, DB2, and Rational teams on a pretty exciting project. It started during a meeting with the sMash team in which they decided to build a sample application to demonstrate at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco last week. Given the lead team the first thought was to simply show off the application at various IBM expo booths. However, we quickly decided the best way to show off the coolness of sMash was to put it in the hands of users. This led us down a path that would include Rational EGL capabilities, the WebSphere sMash Amazon Machine Image (AMI), and the DB2 AMI.
In a little over a week, we delivered a meaningful Web 2.0 application and put it in the hands of conference attendees. Using WebSphere sMash, we produced services that allowed users to view and search for booths at the conference. Each booth at the conference started with a list of keyword tags, and users could add more tags to let other users know what to expect at the booth. We also delivered a Buzz feature that displayed an aggregated feed from both Twitter and Flickr containing entries about the Web 2.0 Expo.
The Rational team, which was already working on an EGL application that would run on attendee handhelds, leveraged the services from our new sMash application, being hosted on the Amazon EC2 infrastructure, to add to their capabilities. Our decision to host the sMash application on EC2 was driven by two factors. The first was that we had virtually no time to go through the in-house server acquisition process. Second, given sMash's capabilities to export and import applications, we were easily able to transfer our local application copy to the AMI instance with no code change. Once the application was imported into the running AMI instance, we changed a single configuration file to reference our newly running DB2 AMI instance which stored the booth data for the expo.
I just thought I'd share this example to highlight a couple of cool technologies, Rational EGL and WebSphere sMash, and to illustrate a scenario in which the IBM Amazon Machine Images deliver value. If you have any questions or want to see some of the application code, send us an email. Here's a couple of screen shots of the application:

Faces in the clouds
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  innovation sofware cloud_computing governance enterprise cloud computing soa 3,499 Views
Clouds form known patterns of shape, consistency and color. These patterns have formal names too: cumulus, stratus, nimbus, etc. But there are also the patterns that are only in the eyes of the imaginative: a dragon, or a face, or Aunt Betty being chased by a fire-breathing turtle.
Cloud computing implementations are composed of common elements such as network servers, enterprise software, routers, etc. There will be common configurations, however, the power of the cloud comes from the idea that capacity, software, storage, etc. are delivered on demand as a service. So despite the fixed configuration that is really the connected inventory, the shapes of clouds are indeed malleable. So what shapes will we see in these clouds?
One of the most widely used examples of a cloud benefit is the greeting card company that has flat business through the year except for specific holiday peaks. The cloud allows that company to expand their capacity for those peaks only, saving them money. In this example, the cloud is hosted by a third party provider.
But what about that nebulous provider? Such a company will still have to manage capacity and other IT services for all its customers. It has the same issues that any IT shop would have. Finite resources that have to handle all the demand. The cloud principle allows it to provision resource as it is needed, but then this provider will only be able to handle so many customers that have peak business around the various holidays other wise there is no gain. In fact I think that these providers will have to plan which kinds of business they can host to maximize their 'face' time.

Service Elasticity
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  cloud_computing soa 3,241 Views
Many enterprise IT decision makers are probably currently, or will be shortly, contemplating some type of cloud computing solution that promises to deliver benefits to their operation. After all, cloud computing solutions, when utilized prudently, are hard to resist. As these decision makers prepare to weigh the pros and cons of such solutions, there is one consideration that is perhaps more important than all others: Will this solution enable elasticity among my services and applications?
Hopefully the answer to the above question is a confident 'Yes'. A lot of discussion is given to providing virtualized, dynamically scaled resources such as servers, processors, operating systems, etc. and rightfully so. By optimizing the usage and consumption of these infrastructure resources, IT operations can be significantly enhanced. However, these resources are often times just a mean to an end, that end being service delivery. IT provides services and applications to end-users that are critical in terms of revenue generation or optimal business activity. These are the resources that most need elastic capabilites to ensure that end-users are continually provided responsive service. Cloud computing solutions need to address this capability by providing the means to package services in manageable units and deliver the ability to govern the scale of these units in an autonomic fashion.
Note, that in the question above I used the word enable. This was deliberate since it is hard to comprehend how any cloud computing solution could provide "out-of-the-box" service elasticity. The implementation of a SOA architecture becomes a necessary partner to achieving true service elasticity. Services must be developed in such a way that they are loosely coupled from other services and required components such as databases. Otherwise, the ability of one service to dynamically scale may be implicitly connected to another service's ability to achieve such elasticity. In this type of intertwined architecture, maximum elasticity will never be achieved.
What do you think about the current cloud landscape? Is there enough focus on service elasticity, and is service elasticity even the most valuable aspect of cloud computing? Leave a comment below, or reply to us on Twitter @WebSphereClouds.
