  • Reliability and Security of Large Scale Data Storage in Cloud Computing C.W
    This article is part of the Reliability Society 2010 Annual Technical Report Reliability and Security of Large Scale Data Storage in Cloud Computing C.W. Hsu ¹¹¹ C.W. Wang ²²² Shiuhpyng Shieh ³³³ Department of Computer Science Taiwan Information Security Center at National Chiao Tung University NCTU (TWISC@NCTU) Email: ¹[email protected] ³[email protected] ²[email protected] Abstract In this article, we will present new challenges to the large scale cloud computing, namely reliability and security. Recent progress in the research area will be briefly reviewed. It has been proved that it is impossible to satisfy consistency, availability, and partitioned-tolerance simultaneously. Tradeoff becomes crucial among these factors to choose a suitable data access model for a distributed storage system. In this article, new security issues will be addressed and potential solutions will be discussed. Introduction “Cloud Computing ”, a novel computing model for large-scale application, has attracted much attention from both academic and industry. Since 2006, Google Inc. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt introduced the term into industry, and related research had been carried out in recent years. Cloud computing provides scalable deployment and fine-grained management of services through efficient resource sharing mechanism (most of them are for hardware resources, such as VM). Convinced by the manner called “ pay-as-you-go ” [1][2], companies can lower the cost of equipment management including machine purchasing, human maintenance, data backup, etc. Many cloud services rapidly appear on the Internet, such as Amazon’s EC2, Microsoft’s Azure, Google’s Gmail, Facebook, and so on. However, the well-known definition of the term “Cloud Computing ” was first given by Prof.

    CHAMPIONNATS DU MONDE ROUTE UCI 16 au 24 septembre 2017 DOSSIER DE PRESSE Bergen, NORVEGE BERGEN (NORVEGE) Bergen est une ville du Sud-Ouest de la Norvège, capitale du comté de Hordaland. Elle est la deuxième ville du pays avec ses 280’000 habitants. C’est une cité internationale possédant le charme et l’atmosphère d’un petit village. “Porte d’entrée des Fjords de Norvège”, Bergen est classée patrimoine mondial par l’UNESCO et a le statut de Ville Européenne de la Culture. La côte de la région de Bergen est parsemée de milliers de petites îles. L’archipel et les majestueux fjords forment un paysage très varié. La ville est comme un spectaculaire amphithéâtre grimpant sur les flancs de la montagne, surplombant la mer et entourant ses visiteurs. La tradition et l’histoire se côtoient avec une scène culturelle très dynamique. L’héritage de la période hanséatique va de pair avec le statut actuel de Bergen comme Ville Européenne de la Culture. Les deux sont très visibles lorsqu’on se promène dans la ville. Bergen est protégée de la Mer du Nord par les îles Askøy, Holsnøy (la municipalité de Meland) et Sotra (les municipalités de Fjell, Sund et Øygarden). De par sa proximité avec la Mer du Nord et les Fjords, Bergen et sa région sont habituées à des conditions climatiques variées. Du ciel bleu clair à la joie de la pluie, les habitants de l’Ouest de la Norvège vivent avec la nature. Grâce au Gulf Stream (“courant du golfe”), le climat est bien meilleur que la latitude ne l’indique.

    Settle (Yorkshire), Friday, April 29 th , 2016 TOUR DE YORKSHIRE 2016 – STAGE 1 : A BREATH OF FRESH AIR SWEEPS THROUGH YORKSHIRE The wet, windy inaugural stage of the second edition of the Tour de Yorkshire came down to a mass sprint in Settle, where rising star Dylan Groenewegen claimed a prestigious victory on English soil mirroring LottoNL–Jumbo teammate Moreno Hofland's win last year. The 22-year-old Dutchman was simply too fast for two other up- and-coming sprinters, Aussie Caleb Ewan and German Niklas Arndt, at the end of a stage which saw the six-man breakaway shut down before the pack entered the closing circuit. A FRIGID APRIL Pro cyclists will be having nightmares about this April for a long time. Rain pounded the sign- on podium in the charming town of Beverley, start of the first stage of the Tour de Yorkshire, where temperatures barely reached 7 °C. Unfazed by the weather, throngs of fans came out to root for the 141 brave riders, including a certain Sir Bradley Wiggins ready to get some miles in his legs in his quest to claim a new Olympic gold in Rio. As if by magic, the rain stopped and the first rays of sunshine timidly cracked through the clouds in time for the start of the race at 11:54 am. A ROCKY START Disaster struck in the very first kilometre, when a group of about twenty riders hit the deck and Jeandesboz (DEN), Simon (COF) and Bystrøm (KAT) were knocked out of the race. It was at this point that a six-man breakaway consisting of Williams (ONE), Politt (KAT), Cronshaw (MGT), Briggs (JLT), Wallays (TSV) and Mora (RAL) slipped away.

Social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Distinction from industrial media People gain information, education, news, etc., by electronic media and print media. Social media are distinct from industrial or traditional media, such as newspapers, television, and film. They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

Elle s’élançait de Saint-Ghislain pour arriver à Frameries après un parcours long de 202,3 kilomètres. Ce dernier comprenait une première partie de 160,9 kilomètres et un circuit local de 13,8 kilomètres à parcourir à trois reprises. La course se disputait sous une forte chaleur mais un violent orage venait rafraichir l’atmosphère et les coureurs en milieu de parcours. Elle était animée par de nombreuses attaques. Peter Kennaugh (Bora-Hansgrohe) tentait sa chance en solitaire. Il résistait de justesse au retour du peloton et s’imposait devant Jerome Baugnies (Wanty Groupe Gobert) et Benjamin Declercq (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise). Pour sa course de reprise , Adrien Petit abandonnait sous une chaleur accablante. La 38ème édition du Tour de Wallonie se disputait du 28 juillet au 1er août. Elle se composait de cinq étapes en ligne pour un total de 878,7 kilomètres. Le classement général final était remporté par Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal) qui était déclaré vainqueur au calcul des classements dans les 5 étapes.
