Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCreep predicting model in masonry structure utilizing dynamic neural networkMustafa M. Abed, A. El-Shafie, Siti Aminah Bt. OsmanProblem statement: When the loads are applied to a brickwork structure, visco-elastic behavior upon their stress-strain relationships is exhibited, where the response can be classified into two separate parts: an instantaneous elastic strains and time-dependent creep strains. The creep strain represents the non- instantaneous strain that happens with time when the stress is sustained. Through the previous century, along with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,627 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordServer Optimization Using Heuristic Algorithms for Dynamic-Split-and-Merge Scheme in Wireless MulticastR. Sukumar, V. VasudevanProblem statement: In order to minimize the overall network traffic in a multiserver system, the number of users served by each server (and hence the group size) should remain constant. As the underlying traffic fluctuates, a split and merge scheme is implemented in a physical server to achieve load balancing. Approach: Minimizing the number of servers during the merge operation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,811 accessesView PDFCite

RajendranProblem statement: Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically forms a network. Most of the existing ad-hoc routing algorithms select the shortest path using various resources. However the selected path may not consider all the network parameters and this would result in link instability in the network.
