InvestigationOpen accessAll words, across the recordLoad Balancing For Cloud-Based Dynamic Data ProcessingTalal Talib JameelThe Map/Reduce paradigm has dominated cloud computing since its beginnings. However, there are some scenarios in which Map/Reduce is not the best model. Once such situation is a system that collects data dynamically, with intermittent arrival times. In this study, we study a modified form of Map/Reduce that uses a load balancer to distribute work, rather than simply assigning a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 20 May 2017 · 7,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn NPV Optimization Model for Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network Design and PlanningAl-Ashhab Mohamed Sayed, Nahid AfiaAs the importance of forward-reverse logistics increases, attention will be focused on parameters which affect Net Present Value (NPV) of the whole system, aiming at considering the time value of money in planning. In this research, an NPV optimization model for multi-period multi-product closed-loop supply chain network design and planning is developed to maximize the total NPV. The effect of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2017 · 7,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCluster Based Time Division Multiple Access Scheduling Scheme for Zigbee Wireless Sensor NetworksB. Meenakshi, P. AnandhakumarIn IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee Wireless Sensor Networks, an efficient scheduling mechanism is required for reliable data transmission. Further, concurrent transmission of huge data through CSMA/CA incurs more packet collision rate. This complicated condition has to be eliminated to improve the system throughput. In this study, we propose to deploy cluster based TDMA scheduling mechanism for IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee Wireless Sensor … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 26 Nov 2012 · 6,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimizing Empty Containers Distribution among PortsMohammed A. Hajeeh, Weam BehbehaniProblem statement: Empty containers are an essential part of the logistics of the movement, repositioning and distribution of containers. Optimizing the allocation and transportation of empty containers contributes significantly in reducing cost. Approach: A mathematical model is formulated with the objective of finding an optimal sequence of ships movement among ports in order to satisfy demands at the ports with … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,371 accessesView PDFCite
