  • challenges of inter organizational information and Middleware System projects agility complexity success and failure
    International Conference on Information Intelligence Systems and Applications, 2015
    Co-Authors: Radhouane B N Jrad, David Sundaram
    Abstract:

    There are two main ways to manage projects in business: The traditional and the agile. While the first has been historically the main Project Management methodology for businesses, the latter is gaining more support for projects involving Information Systems (IS) due to its fitting with the unpredictable nature of IS changes. To assess outcomes of projects, businesses have been using rational, narrative, organizational, and/or performative approaches. While each approach has its strengths and weaknesses, the jury is still out on which is more suitable for IS projects. More specifically, there is a lack of targeted research on which type of project management and which approach for project outcome evaluation are most relevant for Inter-Organizational Information Systems (IOIS) and Inter-Organizational Middleware System (IOMS). IOISs are automated ISs spanning across partnering organizations and aiming at synergizing their forces to increase competitiveness and cost efficiency. An Inter-Organizational Middleware System (IOMS) is the component inside IOIS that is responsible for bridging various partners' Systems while holding part of the business intelligence. First, this paper collects and reviews existing project management methodologies; it then evaluates present approaches for assessing outcomes of IS projects, before it focuses on IOIS and IOMS projects, highlighting their unique characteristics and challenges. The paper concludes with a highlight of the research gap into IOIS and IOMS project management.

  • AMCIS - Inter-Organizational Information and Middleware System Projects: Success, Failure, Complexity, and Challenges
    2015
    Co-Authors: Radhouane B N Jrad, David Sundaram
    Abstract:

    Managing projects is firmly driven by its business goals. Simplistically, considering a project as success, or failure, depends on it meeting its objectives and requirements within its resources. While traditional projects are well constructed, Information Systems projects tend to be complex and ill,defined. These problems are exacerbated in contexts of Inter,Organ izational Information (IOIS) and Middleware Systems (IOMS). Such Inter,Enterprise System projec ts are likely to face challenges related to the non, homogeneity of project goals across partners, complexity of relationships within and across organizations, geographical dispersion, legal differences across boundaries, etc. In this paper we explore various approaches identifying outcomes of IS projects: Rational, Narrative, Organizational, and Performative. Furthermore, we identify the complexity and particular challenges of IOIS and IOMS projects and how such approaches towards identifying project success and/or failure are applicable or inapplicable. We conclude with a call for more research to be conducted in this nascent but vital area.

  • BOINC: A Platform for Volunteer Computing
    Journal of Grid Computing, 2020
    Co-Authors: David P. Anderson
    Abstract:

    “Volunteer computing” is the use of consumer digital devices for high-throughput scientific computing. It can provide large computing capacity at low cost, but presents challenges due to device heterogeneity, unreliability, and churn. BOINC, a widely-used open-source Middleware System for volunteer computing, addresses these challenges. We describe BOINC’s features, architecture, implementation, and algorithms.

  • Middleware - A flexible Middleware System for wireless sensor networks
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2003
    Co-Authors: Flavia C. Delicato, Paulo F. Pires, Luci Pirmez, Luiz Fernando Rust Da Costa Carmo
    Abstract:

    The current wireless sensor networks (WSN) are assumed to be designed for specific applications, having data communication protocols strongly coupled to applications. The future WSNs are envisioned as comprising of heterogeneous devices assisting to a large range of applications. To achieve this goal, a flexible Middleware layer is needed, separating application specific features from the data communication protocol, while allowing applications to influence the WSN behavior for energy efficiency. We propose a service-based Middleware System for WSNs. In our proposal, sensor nodes are service providers and applications are clients of such services. Our main goal is to enable an interoperability layer among applications and sensor networks, among different sensors in a WSN and eventually among different WSN spread all over the world.
