Enterprises use design best practices to build applications that leverage the linear scalability of the cloud. These include methods like data sharding, application sharding, denormalized data stores, thin binary images etc. The design practices itself involve reengineering an application to the cloud. Enterprises view reengineering activities as a business risk and a costly affair. As Service oriented applications increasingly get migrated to the cloud, it is imperative to utilize the power of the multicore based host hardware, and maintain or improve the performance of these applications in cloud. This paper presents a methodology, through a connection oriented framework, to smoothly migrate and tune a web service based enterprise application to the cloud. This methodology itself is a three step process - that helps measure, analyze and identify tuning parameters for the web services and configure the system - without initial reengineering effort. This approach, through a replicated enterprise application on a test bed, validates up to 30% performance gain for the application, while reducing the risk of the enterprise applications migration to the cloud. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This Volume comprises 12 chapters in an attempt to bring available information on biology, social behavour and economic importance of termites. Chapters in this book dealing with termites identification provide a review on most updated information of their systematics. Ecologically, termites interact with living and non-living surroundings and deliver a wide range of behaviors. In a separate chapter termites ecology is examined and explored. Termites depend on their gut microbes for digestion of complex polysaccharides of wood into simpler molecules. Information provided on termite gut microbiome and lignocellulose degradation constitutes an important contribution. Termite biology and social behaviour have been addressed comprehensively. Trail pheromones are responsible for the orientation |

and recruitment of nestmates to the food sources. Once arriving at a potential food source, termites assess its quality using a different set of cues. A separate chapter on trail pheromones, cues used during foraging and food assessment, with preferences for foraging sites, contributes a wealth of information. Emphasis has been given on reviewing ecological benefits of termites in other chapters. The information with respect to termite species as an edible insect and the overall role it plays in food and nutrition security in Africa is quite informative. A separate chapter dealing with importance of termites and termitaria in mineral exploration constitutes a significant step in addressing the economic importance of this insect group. |
