This paper presents a novel architecture for autoconfiguration and cooperation of automatic web service UI generation with lightweight UI resource. The auto-configuration and cooperation generation mechanisms proposed in our network architecture are based on TR-069 and TR-106. Using the communication mechanism of TR-069 and UI resource data model based on TR-106, the latest comprehensible UI resources can be easily cooperate, share, and configure between clients and servers. A software stack in our system is designed to balance UI resources' capacity and clients' workload. The proposed method would not be limited to central control resource management and automatically configures clients by using most updated UI resources.

With cloud computing's paradigm shift for IT industries, the concept of thin clients has become popular again. There are usually numerous nodes with various functions in a cloud computing system. It is important to deploy different cloud operating systems (cloud OSs) onto different nodes. The conventional method of using unicast deployment to distribute a massive cloud OS onto thousands of nodes is time consuming and bandwidth-intensive. In this work, we propose a multicast deployment approach to significantly improve deployment efficiency. Furthermore, our multicast deployment approach can leverage existing configurations of the unicast counterpart. Therefore, customized deployment for different groups of nodes can be achieved. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed approach in practical applications, our deployment approach is implemented using CentOS and Ubuntu on many nodes. Empirical studies show that the required time for the entire distribution process is significantly reduced, from starting delivery until the OS is ready. Moreover, network bandwidth consumption is also significantly reduced compared with the conventional unicast deployment. Consequently, system administrators must spend less effort on monitoring and maintenance.
