Windows State Machine workflow: How can we achieve Parent Child workflow communication when both are hosted as WF service.

I am trying to spawn child workflows as services from parent workflow which is also a workflow hosted as a service. Problems I am facing: How to spawn multiple child workflows as service "synchronously"? How to communicate to the consuming applications that the child workflows are ready for action? How to communicate to the parent tha...

Can I run a native OS installation as a virtual machine OS?

I am using win7. I wish to use Fedora on my machine, but don't know just how much I will be needing either of my OS. I wish to install Ferdora and configure it as a dual boot system. At the same time, when time calls for it, I want to run the same Fedora installation as a virtual machine on top of win7. Is there a way to do it? ...

Detecting Virtualization

I have an inline assembler function detects program runs on Virtual Machine or not. But in 64bit inline assembly is not available anymore, here x64 intrinsics now. Is there another way for detecting it? Here is the code works for 32bit VMWare bool IsInsideVMWare(void) { bool rc = true; __try { __asm { push edx push ecx p...

Best practices in logging the station that did something

I've seen too many incidents of someone having a password they shouldn't have. Thus I want to log the station from where the command came as well as who was logged in at the time. What is the best way to log the machine identity? I was thinking the MAC address except there can be multiple such addresses on a machine. IP won't work be...

What are the prerequisites for studying Machine Learning?

I was always fascinated by the topic of Machine learning until I decided to teach myself how to do it. So I came through a course provided by Stanford published online. However I was shocked of the amount of math it contained. So what is the mathematical background I should have to be able to understand the algorithms of machine learning...

How to test an Machine Learning or statistic NLP algorithm implementation pack?

Hi, guys I am working on testing several Machine Learning algorithm implementations, checking whether they can work as efficient as described in the papers and making sure they could offer a great power to our statistic NLP (Natural Language Processing) platform. Could u guys show me some methods for testing an algorithm implementation...

How to determine the target machine from a DLL?

How can I determine the machine on which a given DLL can run. There are many platforms ARM, SH4, x64, x32. When I have no other information than the DLL itself how to do that? Background: There is a set off DLLs and some of them are not appropriate. How to detect them "offline"? SOLUTION Thanks for the help: the solution I use is th...

Interpreter Speeds

I want to do my best on a cool personal project I have in mind, and I need to choose between an interpreter (slow and lightweight in memory) and a virtual machine (faster and heavy). Is true that interpreters are much slower than virtual machines, at a point which it is visible to the user? Somebody have done a comparison? Thanks! ...

Streaming data for state machine playback

Hey all, I have a state machine design that needs to support playback. We have states that perform actions and sometimes need to generate random numbers. In case the program shuts down while in the middle of the FSM's execution, the program needs to playback the whole FSM using the same random numbers as before. For a basic example, le...

Is this a machine name or what?

I have a third party dll, that is supposed to return machine name. Sometimes it returns \\John-PC some other times it returns \\192.168.1.120 and recently i discovered that it returns something like this \\[ef80::32d6:2255:27dd:123c] So what is the third option? If it is not a bug or MAC orelse, could i convert it to \192.168.1...

simple install for vm appliance??

I need to create a virtual machine appliance (guest: linux, host: win xp/vista/7). I would like to minimize the install process as much as possible. For example, installing VirtualBox + my VM is too much for the end user. I would ideally like a single EXE, "zero-install" solution, but don't know if it exists. I can use qemu or virtua...

Hallo experts, I work at a firm as a SW Tester/Validater Our company produce autoamtic machines. Recently we are introducing team foundation server for SW development. As a SW tester my tasks include: Validation of the functionalities of the machines at the real machines. Reporting bugs and submitting reports. We don't do any UnitTes...

Finite State Machine (FSM) and Android's Java

Hello, i'm willing to develop a soccer game for Android. Because the complexity of the AI, i really think i need to design it using a FSM (Finite State Machine) and not with a monster switch. Googling around i found some FSM written in Java, but nothing explicitly compatible with Android: i wonder if there is someone here that used a F...

Machine model for functional programming

I've read somewhere that the current machine model is not quite fit for functional programming. So what is the limitations of the current machine model? Has a more suitable machine model been developed? ...

How can I run vmware server (or equivalent free vmmachine server) on a cluster of several machines?

I would like to create a cluster of computers in order to run a virtual machine server (preferably vmware) as if the cluster were 1 big machine. What software and OS do I need for this and how do I need to configure it? Is there a way to balance the load of any applications over a cluster or do applications need to be built in a certain...

Installing OpenX on Virtual Machine

I am a web developer working with a server admin to install OpenX Source on one of our virtual machines (Windows). We have tried several methods including the following: Creating a virtual directory called "openx" and installing the files exactly as they came from the OpenX ZIP file. We are still unable to pull up the index.php file in...
