Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractU.S. Malpractice in Internal Medicine: Closed Claim Cases as Tools for Identification, Teaching and PreventionKimberly Ku, Theresa Vettese, Diane LevineMedical malpractice litigation as a system in the U.S. serves multiple goals, including the promotion of safer medicine and the compensation of wrongfully injured patients. However, these aims are often at odds with systems-oriented strategies needed to promote patient safety. Additionally, there is widespread doubt of the actual fairness and efficiency of malpractice litigation. Regardless of the details surrounding major … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2013 · 6,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Scheduling Al-gorithms in Cloud Computing EnvironmentIsam Azawi MohialdeenAn essential requirement in cloud computing environment is scheduling the current jobs to be executed with the given constraints. The scheduler should order the jobs in a way where balance between improving the quality of services and at the same time maintaining the efficiency and fairness among the jobs. Thus, evaluating the performance of scheduling algorithms is crucial towards realizing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2013 · 7,206 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtility Based Scheduling and Call Admission Control for Long Term Evolution NetworksJ. Vijay Franklin, K. ParamasivamIn this study, we propose to design a call admission control algorithm which schedules the channels for Real time and non-real time users. In Long Term Evolution (LTE) 3GPP Networks, several works were done on call admission control but these works rarely considers scheduling of resources to the real time and non-real time users.When the system meets traffic oriented performance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 13 Dec 2012 · 6,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Grade-Based Incentive Mechanism for Peer-to-Peer NetworksS. Moses Dian, B. RamadossFree-riding is a desperate and a constant menace to many P2P systems, to violate the cooperation among peers. This study proposes a grade-based approach, which expeditiously maintains fairness in the network by encouraging the high contributed peers and altogether wiping out the free-riders. The Network Contribution Ratio determines the contribution of users globally. Besides, the proposed grading algorithm uses a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2012 · 7,489 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRouting Based Data Security in Mobile Ad Hoc Network Using Group Key ManagementE. Mohanraj, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a self-organizing system of mobile devices followed an infrastructure less framework associated by wireless links. In MANET, there is a possibility of packet data to get lost or hacked by an attacker. So, to improve a secure communication over MANET from attackers, several techniques have been developed. The previous work developed to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 29 Aug 2012 · 6,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Priority Oriented Scheduling Method to Increase the Reliability of Manufacturing SystemsSeyedehfarzaneh Nojabaei, Z. Leman, S. H. Tang, S. SulaimanScheduling occurs in every organization without considering the nature of its activities. In this regard, numerous scholars have attempted to schedule via divergent methods including classical scheduling, genetic algorithm, neural network and fuzzy logic and so on. Studies in manufacturing scheduling mostly deal with priority rules without any consideration of the system states. An appropriate scheduling leads to significant enhancement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 31 Jul 2012 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Threshold based Scheduling for Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output SystemsK. Chanthirasekaran, M. A. BhagyaveniProblem statement: Multi-User Multi-Input Multi-Output (MU-MIMO) system had eventually used in 4th generation wireless networks either to achieved diversity gain or multiplexing gain. Many recent scheduling addresses the threshold based resource allocation where in resource were not utilized properly. Approach: In this study a new Multi Threshold Based Channel Aware Scheduling (MTCAS) was proposed for performance improvement and proper resource … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 21 Jun 2012 · 6,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Optimal Rate Adjustment Algorithm for Medium Access Control Protocol in 802.11 Multi Hop Ad Hoc NetworksT. Ravichandran, K. SaravananProblem statement: Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol plays an important role in providing a fair and efficient allocation of limited bandwidth in wireless LANs. In IEEE 802.11 standard protocol, data rate selection is not specified. Rate control is the process of switching data rates dynamically based on channel conditions, with the target of selecting the rate that will provide the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 9 Jun 2012 · 7,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Resource and Cost Management Scheme for Computational GridsV. K. Manavalasundaram, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: Autonomous decision making and resource scheduling are the main objectives of market-life computational grid. Resource providers and consumers make the scheduling decisions with cost and incentive factors. The two objectives are to maximize the success rate of job execution and to minimize fairness deviation among resources. The challenge is to develop a grid-scheduling scheme that enables individual participants … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Feb 2012 · 6,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Bandwidth Allocation for Multiple Traffic Classes in IEEE 802.16e WiMax Networks: A Petrinet ApproachS. Geetha, R. JayaparvathyProblem statement: WiMAX supports multiple types of traffic such as data, voice and video. Each flow requires a certain minimum bandwidth to achieve its QoS. Bandwidth allocation to traffic classes should be in such a way that fairness criteria is met with. Hence, we propose a dynamic bandwidth allocation mechanism to achieve fair and efficient allocation. Approach: We present a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 6 Sep 2011 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
