Posted in Conferences

La Laguna 7,8, y 9 de Septiembre 2011

Antecedentes

Estas Jornadas surgieron a partir de las actividades llevadas a cabo en marzo de 1989 por la Dirección General de Telecomunicaciones de Madrid; y se celebran a nivel estatal, ininterrumpidamente, desde 1990. Por tanto, la celebración de este encuentro en La Laguna (Tenerife) representa una continuidad respecto a las ediciones anteriores que tuvieron lugar en Sitges (Barcelona), El Escorial, Valencia, Santander, Málaga, Barcelona, Santiago de Compostela, Cáceres, San Sebastián, La Manga (Murcia), Granada, Valencia, Lérida, Madrid, Almería, Granada, Albacete, Zaragoza, Castellón, A Coruña y Valencia.
Manteniendo el espíritu de anteriores ediciones y tratando de aglutinar a un mayor número de participantes y actividades, en esta XXII edición las Jornadas de Paralelismo se celebran por primera vez conjuntamente con las Jornadas de Computación Reconfigurable y Aplicaciones (JCRA).

Las Jornadas de Paralelismo son un congreso de carácter científico-técnico y ámbito nacional, que supone un encuentro de numerosos investigadores, procedentes de diferentes universidades españolas, con objeto de intercambiar experiencias y presentar ponencias relacionadas con el paralelismo y la arquitectura y redes de computadores en general.

Ubuntu 11.04 post-install

Written by Johann | 26 May 2011
Posted in Linux Miscellaneous

After upgrading to 11.04 my laptop and installing from the scratch my desktop I only can say:

Unity rocks!. Anyway, the system is not stable yet and it has some issues to fix just after installation.

For spanish speakers: Aunque el idioma del sistema diga Español, realmente no lo esta. Si descargar software este se descargara e instalará en ingles ya que el sistema esta en ingles, eso debemos corregir inmediatamente de la siguiente forma:

Ir a Sistema - Administracion - Soporte de Idiomas. Ahi le damos a ok a instalar más idiomas (que será una ventana emergente la que nos lo pida) y finalmente buscamos Español en la lista y los subimos con el ratón a la primera posición.

We should enable the Canonical Repositories, it will help to install some other non-free software. It is legal since some companies (Adobe, Sun, ...) have an agreement with Ubuntu

Hi desperate latex users,

I just copy and paste a solution found for long tables in Latex. Yeah! for those loooonnnggg tables that got cutted when formatting the doc. We can split the table into many consecutive pages.

(extracted from http://iloo.wordpress.com/2010/08/01/latex-entorno-longtable/ and http://fczaja.blogspot.com/2007/04/longtable-latex.html )

\usepackage{longtable}

Encoding with FFMPEG on Ubuntu 11.04

Written by Johann | 26 May 2011
Posted in Linux Miscellaneous

After upgrading my Ubuntu pc to 11.04 ... many things stop working. I could not make the ffmpeg work with some codecs like: libafcc or libx264.

I've tried so many tutorials and forums tips to make the ffmpeg run. But I got confused!.

In only 3 steps you now can make it work

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/`lsb_release -cs`.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get -q update && sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get -q update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-52 ubuntu-restricted-extras

Voila! working.

Hi,

When writing technical papers, there is always a problem at last minute: THE EMBEDDED FONTS IN THE RESULTING PDF.

WTF!!!, So I have done it using the following tools and option (Linux users, yes! Linux rocks!)

- ACM (fonts embedded y letter size )

dvips -P pdf -Pdownload35 -t letter -o paper.ps paper.dvi

ps2pdf paper.ps

- IEEE

dvips paper.dvi 
ps2pdf -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -r600 -dCompatibilitLevel=1.4  -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true  -dEmbedAllFonts=true paper.ps

It will help!

Wireless networks, including WLAN, WiMax, wireless personal networks, ad hoc, sensor, along with pervasive networks, have witnessed their fastest growth period over the last few years and have become increasingly complex. Nonetheless, performance evaluation and analysis of wireless networks have been conducted mostly through software simulations (e.g., using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Research efforts have recently been directed towards measuring real-world commercial and experimental networks; constructing models based on real-world data and using prototypes to evaluate solutions more realistically and comprehensively and to validate assumptions and conclusions that are reached via simulation experiments.

Performance monitoring, measurement, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks pose a new set of unique challenges due to the particular inherent properties of these systems and due to the characteristics of the wireless transmission medium.

The aim of the 5th ACM PM2HW2N, which last year's edition was held in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, is to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners in order to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of performance measurements, monitoring, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks, including, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks.

Topics of interest

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

»	Performance monitoring tools for wiireless and wired networks;
»	Perfomance tools for ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks;
»	Tracing and trace analysis;
»	Discrete and Continuous models;
»	Measurement architectures and systems;
»	QoS monitoring and sampling;
»	Measurement-based optimization of heterogeneous networks;
»	Performance analysis and evaluation of mobile services;
»	Automatic performance analysis;
»	Performance evaluation of wirelss sensor networks;
»	Mobility modeling and management;
»	Traffic modeling and engineering;
»	Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems;
»	Techniques for prototyping wireless networks;
»	Valiadation through measurement and prototyping
»	Predictive performance models for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks;
»	Probabilistic models for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks;
»	Performance and power management control
»	Case studies demonstrating the role of performance monitoring and evaluation;
»	Applications of performance monitoring to improve QoS.
