Master Thesis MASTER THESIS TITLE: Advanced personal social network API for third-party mobile applications MASTER DEGREE: Master in Science in Telecommunication Engineering & Management AUTHOR: Alberto Carlos Toro Sánchez DIRECTOR: Antoni Oller Arcas DATE: 07-20-2011 Título: Advanced personal social network API for third-party mobile applications Autor: Alberto Carlos Toro Sánchez Director: Antoni Oller Arcas Fecha: 20-07-2011 Resumen Hoy en día nuestro mundo está permanentemente conectado, esto forma parte de la vida cotidiana que nos rodea. El creciente aumento de teléfonos inteligentes o Smartphones, la necesidad de controlarnos y saber cómo se encuentran los demás, llevan a la realización de este proyecto. El principal objetivo del proyecto es desarrolla un concepto de aplicación que permita la recolección de datos sobre el usuario para mostrarlos a uno mismo y a los demás. Inicialmente se han realizado estudios previos de varias tecnologías que pueden ser de utilidad para llevar a cabo el diseño y la implementación de la aplicación, y de esta manera, hacer llegar el servicio de AAAida hasta usuarios de Smartphones. Se han realizado casos de uso y pruebas para comprobar las funcionalidades de cada tecnología de cara a implementarlas en la aplicación. Teniendo en cuenta el resultado de las pruebas se ha diseñado una arquitectura para que el usuario pueda consultar sus valores de las medidas como por ejemplo el peso, colesterol, glucosa, etc. o ingresar nuevas. Sobre este diseño se han ido añadiendo nuevos diseños de funcionalidades. Finalmente se ha implementado el diseño realizado que permite al usuario realizar las funciones marcadas. Se han realizado con éxito test sobre la implementación para comprobar que los objetivos marcados se han conseguido, como son los comentado previamente, localización del dispositivo en un mapa, realidad aumentada para localizar lugares de interés como policía o farmacias y el tracking de rutas o paseos del usuario. Title: Advanced personal social network API for third-party mobile applications Author: Alberto Carlos Toro Sánchez Director: Antoni Oller Arcas Date: 07-20-2011 Overview Nowadays, our world is permanently connected; this is part of the daily life that surrounds us. The fast grown of Smartphones and the need of control us and how other people are, are the main reasons why this project is done. The main objective of the project is to develop a conceptual application that can collect user data to show it to other users or that can be checked for oneself. Initially, previous studies of several technologies have been done, which can be useful to carry out the design and implementation of the application, and thus, bring the AAAida platform to Smartphone users. Moreover, use case and proves have been completed in order to test functionality of each technology toward implementing the application. Taking these test results as a reference, the architecture have been designed to allow the user to consult his measures data such as weight, cholesterol, glucose, etc. or enter new ones. Over this design new features have been added. Finally, the proposed design have been implemented, which allow the user realize the objective functions. The test over the implementation have been performed with success to check that the previously described objectives have been achieved, like device location on a map, augmented reality to locate emergency places like police or pharmacies and tracking of routes of user walks.

    Your Ultimate Guide to the Non - Relational Universe! [the best selected nosql link Archive in the web] ...never miss a conceptual article again... News Feed covering all changes here! NoSQL DEFINITION: Next Generation Databases mostly addressing some of the points: being non-relational, distributed, open-source and horizontally scalable. The original intention has been modern web-scale databases. The movement began early 2009 and is growing rapidly. Often more characteristics apply such as: schema-free, easy replication support, simple API, eventually consistent / BASE (not ACID), a huge amount of data and more. So the misleading term "nosql" (the community now translates it mostly with "not only sql") should be seen as an alias to something like the definition above.

We can say mobile de- vices are sibling of personal computers. Mobile device usage patterns are very different as compared to conventional PCs, as the devices are targeted for general users. Mobile devices have some great features, e.g., light weight and efficiency, but it has some drawback like small memory and battery is- sues. Peoples want to use many applications, due to growing the number of purposes, but it challenges to manage the many application in mobile device. Performance of mobile device depends on how to managing our applications and its data. There is a need to measure the performance of various com- monly used applications. Our work start with simple question: does storage affect the performance of mobile device? What kinds of database requires for mobile device? What are the parameter to measure the performance of databases? How to measure the performance of mobile device and its possible tools.

  • Obinject: a Noodmg Persistence and Indexing Framework for Object Injection
    ObInject: a NoODMG Persistence and Indexing Framework for Object Injection Luiz O. Carvalho1;2, Thatyana F. P. Seraphim1, Caetano Traina J´unior2, Enzo Seraphim1;∗ 1 Universidade Federal de Itajub´a,Brazil 2 Universidade de S~aoPaulo, Brazil [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The object-oriented model has become standard for developing information systems. Consequently, more and more classes have been created to embed business rules and are been instantiated several times, generating a huge amount of objects. In several scenarios, objects must change their state from transient to persistent. Thus, several solutions have been created to meet this need for persistence. Many solutions use frameworks to perform the mapping from objects to relations in database schemas. However, few object persistence frameworks pursue efficiency as a target, for example dealing with index structures like B-Tree, M-Tree and R-Tree simultaneously. This article presents ObInject, a NoODMG framework to support object persistence and indexing (www.obinject.org). Its main feature is to allow objects to be persisted and indexed into any data structure. The framework is divided into four modules based on Design Patterns and provides abstractions for persistence and indexing controllers that are specialized from the user class. We performed extensive experiments evaluating several of its properties and target abstractions, and show that it allows the implementation to achieve significant performance improvements in relation to the existing alternatives. Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.3 [Information Storage and Retrieval]: Information Search and Retrieval; E.2 [Data Storage Representation]: Object representation Keywords: framework, indexing, noODMG, persistence 1.
