We now know that a single gene mutation may present with multiple phenotypes, and vice versa, that a range of genetic abnormalities may cause a single phenotype. These observations lead to the conclusion that a deeper understanding is needed of the way changes at one spatial or temporal level of organisation (e.g., genetic, proteomic or metabolic) integrate and translate into others,...

In a computing environment in constant evolution, the security management of our systems need to adapt: cyber-criminals use new attack angles, new technologies and architectures are introduced, old security models are weakened, etc.
This presentation will cover such recent evolutions from a security point of view and discuss new or future security challenges.

Cloud Computing
In today’s smarter planet whether it’s smart meters in an electric grid,
escalators and security cameras in office buildings, signals and switches
from railroad networks or Wi-Fi in airplanes or the software systems that
support them, our world is filled with devices that are instrumented and
interconnected.
There was a time when a person walking through a building and checking
meters...

We will present two real-world data warehousing projects we solved using Hadoop. Both projects resulted in hybrid data warehouses, with Hadoop in the backend and a relational database as the interface for both BI tools and business users. We describe the architecture as well as the data sources and data volume involved.

FastFlow is an open-source C++ research framework to support the development of multi-threaded applications in modern multi/many-core heterogeneous platforms.
The framework provides well-known stream-based algorithm skeleton constructs such as pipeline, task-farm and loop that are used to build more complex and powerful pattern: parallel_for, map, reduce, macro data-flow interpreter,...

With the advent of cloud computing, flexible and scalable services have been provided with the ambition to utilize bare metal resources in a more efficient way. The base technology for cloud computing is represented by virtualization; hence servers can contain several virtualized operating systems in a single physical box. As a small example, most of the servers offering web services are...

The two most common approaches for parallel programming are message
passing (for example using MPI, the message passing interface) and
threading (for example using OpenMP or Pthreads). Threading is generally
considered an easier and more straightforward solution for parallel
programming but it can generally only be used on a single shared memory
node. MPI, on the other hand, scales...

The talk will discuss the current transformation in the computing landscape. The advent of Virtualization have made possible highly scalable and affordable distributed computing systems such as those offered by Cloud providers, public or private. This poses new challenges and problems to do with latency in accessing the data, SLAs, privacy and security issues. At the same time the explosion of...
