Universidad Complutense de Madrid Sistema de gestión de información de usuarios y resultados para el paquete 2008/09 informático GeneCodis Página 2 Sistema de gestión de información de usuarios y resultados para el paquete 2008/09 informático GeneCodis Resumen GeneCodis cuenta en la actualidad con una media de 500 trabajos reales provenientes de distintas partes del mundo, en especial de Europa, USA y Japón. Así mismo, el número de procesos realizados por el mismo usuario es también alto y la tendencia es aumentar. Este número elevado de procesos por usuario hace que la gestión de la información sea imprecisa poco fiable y prácticamente imposible de gestionar de una manera organizada ya que la manera de notificación existente en la actualidad está basada en el correo electrónico o en el almacenamiento manual de las URL con los resultados, por lo tanto, este proyecto pretende minimizar estos problemas mediante la realización de una gestión de los trabajos. Palabras Claves • GeneCodis • Ruby • Rails • Camping • Bioinformática • Análisis funcional • Bases de datos • HTML Página 3 Sistema de gestión de información de usuarios y resultados para el paquete 2008/09 informático GeneCodis Abstract Nowadays, Genecodis has about 500 real works which come from different places of the world, especially from Europe, USA and Japan. Moreover, the number of process which is realized by the same user is usually large and it normally goes on increasing.

  • Load Testing of Containerised Web Services
    UPTEC IT 16003 Examensarbete 30 hp Mars 2016 Load Testing of Containerised Web Services Christoffer Hamberg Abstract Load Testing of Containerised Web Services Christoffer Hamberg Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten Load testing web services requires a great deal of environment configuration and setup. Besöksadress: This is especially apparent in an environment Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 where virtualisation by containerisation is Hus 4, Plan 0 used with many moving and volatile parts. However, containerisation tools like Docker Postadress: offer several properties, such as; application Box 536 751 21 Uppsala image creation and distribution, network interconnectivity and application isolation that Telefon: could be used to support the load testing 018 – 471 30 03 process. Telefax: 018 – 471 30 00 In this thesis, a tool named Bencher, which goal is to aid the process of load testing Hemsida: containerised (with Docker) HTTP services, is http://www.teknat.uu.se/student designed and implemented. To reach its goal Bencher automates some of the tedious steps of load testing, including connecting and scaling containers, collecting system metrics and load testing results to name a few. Bencher’s usability is verified by testing a number of hypotheses formed around different architecture characteristics of web servers in the programming language Ruby. With a minimal environment setup cost and a rapid test iteration process, Bencher proved its usability by being successfully used to verify the hypotheses in this thesis. However, there is still need for future work and improvements, including for example functionality for measuring network bandwidth and latency, that could be added to enhance process even further. To conclude, Bencher fulfilled its goal and scope that were set for it in this thesis.

  • An Introduction to Ruby and Rails
    An Introduction to Ruby and Rails This paper was originally presented at the Southwest Fox conference in Gilbert, Arizona in October, 2010. http://www.swfox.net An Introduction to Ruby and Rails Rick Borup Information Technology Associates 701 Devonshire Dr, Suite 127 Champaign, IL 61820 Voice: (217) 359-0918 Fax: (217) 398-0413 Email: [email protected] Ruby is a powerful, object-oriented, open-source language with a clean and easily understandable syntax. Originally released to the public in 1995, wide-spread interest in the Ruby language really began to take off in 2003 with the release of the Ruby on Rails® framework. Also known as "RoR" or simply "Rails", Ruby on Rails is an open-source Web framework that makes it possible to quickly and easily create data-based Web applications. Together, the Ruby language and the Ruby on Rails framework can become an exciting and powerful addition to any developer's toolbox. This session introduces both the Ruby language and the Rails framework, focusing on their installation and use on a Windows® platform with a perspective geared toward experienced Visual FoxPro® developers. © 2010 Rick Borup Page 1 of 64 An Introduction to Ruby and Rails Table of Contents Introduction............................................................................................................................................................ 4 Installing Ruby and Rails on Windows......................................................................................................... 4 Installing Instant Rails

  • Jruby Topic Maps
    JRuby Topic Maps Arnim Bleier, Benjamin Bock, Uta Schulze, and Lutz Maicher Topic Maps Lab Leipzig University of Leipzig, Johannisgasse 26, 04103 Leipzig, Germany {bleier,bock,uta.schulze,maicher}@informatik.uni-leipzig.de Abstract. The Topic Maps Application Programming Interface (TM- API) provides a standardized way for working with Topic Maps on the Java platform. TMAPI implementations in other programming languages not available for the JVM use a different stack - not harnessing the existing Java code. In this paper we describe a different approach, reusing Java TMAPI implementations to build a high level Topic Maps API for the Ruby programming language without a heavy wrapper layer around the Java Objects. The high level API greatly simplifies implementations on top of the new API compared to TMAPI with minimal overhead. The plain TMAPI methods can be invoked without any overhead at all. The implementation was thought to be straight forward in the beginning but – as usual – some pitfalls were encountered. The according solutions will be outlined in this paper. The library, documentation, and tutorials can 1 be found on the project’s website . 1 Introduction The original ActiveRecord-based implementation of RTM[1] (RTM::AR) pro- vided the Ruby community with a persistent Topic Maps engine to be used in Ruby web frameworks like Ruby on Rails2. RTM::AR introduced some new fea- tures on top of a Topic Maps Data Model-compatible programming interface inspired by the then de-facto standard TMAPI 1.0. The usage of the object- relational mapper ActiveRecord allowed an efficient initial implementation with a concentration on API design and usability.
