INES – National Institute of Science and Technology for Software Engineering

INES at WP2P+ (SBRC’2014)

INES will be present at the Workshop on P2P Networks, Dynamics, and Social Content-Oriented (WP2P+) in conjunction with the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (SBRC’2014) to be held in Florianópolis (Santa Catarina) 5-9 May 2014. This activity is part of the project “Social Machines and Research Team – SMaRT” and is one of the results of the research being done by ASSERT Lab.

The paper is entitled “Cloud Disk Drive – Uma abordagem para a criação de discos virtuais de baixo custo utilizando redes p2p” by Anderson Fonseca e Silva, Frederico Araújo Durão, Vinicius Cardoso Garcia and Rodrigo Elia Assad. A brief summary of the paper is following:

Este trabalho apresenta uma proposta para a disponibilização de unidades virtuais para armazenamento de dados em nuvem, através da associação de tecnologias e conceitos, tais como: ISCSI e redes P2P. Desta forma, os arquivos podem ser distribuídos em nós conectados a rede,permitindo a oferta de armazenamento em disco de maneira compartilhada e a redução de custos pelo ofertante do serviço.

INES at 17th EASE – Part II

The paper “Cloud Testing Framework” authored by Crescencio Rodrigues Lima Neto (DCC-UFBA and IFBA), and Vinicius Cardoso Garcia (CIn-UFPE), has been accepted for publication at the 17th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE’2013). The conference will be held in April 14 – 16, 2013 at Porto de Galinhas, Brazil.

This activity is part of the project “Social Machines and Research Team – SMaRT” and is one of the results of the research being done by ASSERT Lab.

A brief overview of the paper is given next

Cloud-based testing introduces a new set of challenges. While many companies are approaching cloud computing with cautious, testing appears to be next area of growing interest. This paper propose the development of a new framework focusing on cloud testing. We intend to define the activities, roles, techniques, and tools that will be used in an integrated framework. A research methodology containing all the steps that will be executed during the proposal implementation was defined. A schedule was suggested in order to allow the research development. We propose a new Cloud Testing framework and we present the research methodology and schedule that will be used to implement the proposal.

Researcher from PUC-Rio visits UFBA

Prof. Alessandro Garcia is going to visit UFBA on December 15-18, 2012, and has meetings with researchers involved in the project “Concern-Driven Measurement of Software Modularity”, for instance, Claudio Sant’Anna (UFBA) and Christina Chavez (UFBA). The researchers will work on a joint paper as well as discuss ongoing research work in the context of the INES project.

INES project at UFBA is acquiring Books

The project Models, Processes and Tools for the Development of Context Sensitive Systems — in portuguese, Modelos, Processos e Ferramentas de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento de Sistemas Sensíveis ao Contexto is acquiring books to support the project development.
