Improvement Design for Distributed Real-Time Stream Processing Systems

In the era of Big Data, typical architecture of distributed real-time stream processing systems is the combination of Flume, Kafka, and Storm. As a kind of distributed message system, Kafka has the characteristics of horizontal scalability and high throughput, which is manly deployed in many areas in order to address the problem of speed mismatch between message producers and consumers. When using Kafka, we need to quickly receive data sent by producers. In addition, we need to send data to consumers quickly. Therefore, the performance of Kafka is of critical importance to the performance of the whole stream processing system. In this paper, we propose the improved design of real-time stream processing systems, and focus on improving the Kafka's data loading process.We use Kafka cat to transfer data from the source to Kafka topic directly, which can reduce the network transmission. We also utilize the memory file system to accelerate the process of data loading, which can address the bottleneck and performance problems caused by disk I/O. Extensive experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance, which show the superiority of our improved design.

RFID Complex Event Processing: Applications in Real-Time Locating System

Complex event processing (CEP) can extract meaningful events for real-time locating system (RTLS) applications. To identify complex event accurately in RTLS, we propose a new RFID complex event processing method GEEP, which is based on the timed automata (TA) theory. By devising RFID locating application into complex events, we model the timing diagram of RFID data streams based on the TA. We optimize the constraint of the event streams and propose a novel method to derive the constraint between objects, as well as the constraint between object and location. Experiments prove the proposed method reduces the cost of RFID complex event processing, and improves the efficiency of the RTLS.

Theoretical Calculation of the Real Vapor Pressure of Al during ISM Processing of Ni-xAl (at.pct) (x=25-50) Alloy

A new model was established to calculate the real vapor pressure of Al in the molten Ni-xAl （at.pct） （x=25;0） alloy. The effects of the holding time, chamber pressure, mole fraction of Al and melting temperature on the real vapor pressure of Al in the vacuum chamber were analyzed. Because of the impeding effect of the real vapor pressure on the evaporation loss rate, within a short time （less than 10 s）, the real vapor pressure tends to a constant value. When the chamber pressure is less than the saturated vapor pressure of Al, the real vapor pressure of Al is equal to the chamber pressure. While when the chamber pressure is higher than the saturated vapor pressure, the real vapor pressure of Al approaches to the saturated vapor pressure of Al of the same condition.

A new model was established to calculate the real vapor pressure of the Al element in the molten Ti x Al ( x = 25 ～ 50, mole fraction, %) alloy. The effects of the holding time, chamber pressure, mole fraction of Al and melting temperature on the real vapor pressure of Al element in the vacuum chamber were analyzed.

While when the chamber pressure is larger than the saturated vapor pressure, the real vapor pressure is equal to the saturated vapor pressure of the Al element of the same condition.
