Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Reliability and Availability Characteristics of Two Different Systems by Using Linear First Order Differential EquationsKhaled M. El-Said, Mohamed S. EL-SherbenyThis study deals with the reliability and availability characteristics of two different series system configurations. The second system differs from the first system due to the additional feature of preventive maintenance. The failure times of a components are assumed to be exponentially distributed with parameters α,β,α' and β', respectively. The replacement time distribution of each server is also exponentially distributed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCIRCULAR NEIGHBOR REPLICATIONAhmad Shukri Mohd Noor, Nur Farhah Mat Zian, Yazid Md SamanDistributed system rely on replication techniques to tolerate data failure and site disconnection thus ensur-ing flexibility of the system so as to preserve its dependability. The idea of replication is robust however practical implementation of the replication techniques is often rigid that would bring down system's de-pendability and performance. This study intended to evaluate existing techniques and then develop a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 29 Dec 2014 · 8,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAPREDUCE CHALLENGES ON PERVASIVE GRIDSL. A. Steffenel, O. Flauzac, A. S. Charao et al.This study presents the advances on designing and implementing scalable techniques to support the development and execution of MapReduce application in pervasive distributed computing infrastructures, in the context of the PER-MARE project. A pervasive framework for MapReduce applications is very useful in practice, especially in those scientific, enterprises and educational centers which have many unused or underused computing resources, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 24 Jul 2014 · 9,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Fault Tolerant Scheduling Approach for Computational GridP. Keerthika, N. KasthuriGrid computing serves as an important technology to facilitate distributed computation computational grids solve large scale scientific problems using heterogeneous geographically distributed resources. Problems like dispatching and scheduling of tasks are considered as major issues in computational grid environment. The Grid Scheduler must select proper resources for executing the tasks with less response time. There are various reasons such as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 5 Jan 2013 · 7,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncremental DataGrid Mining Algorithm for Mobility Prediction of Mobile UsersU. Sakthi, R.S. BhuvaneswaranProblem statement: Mobility prediction is the important issue in Personal Communication Systems (PCS). Mobile users moving logs are stored in data grid located in different locations. Distributed data mining algorithm is applied on this moving logs to generate the mobility pattern of mobile users. As new moving logs are added to the data grid, existing mobility pattern becomes invalid and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 6,776 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Embeddings of Hamiltonian Paths and Cycles in Extended Fibonacci CubesIoana Zelina, Grigor Moldovan, Ioana TascuThe interconnection network is an essential component of a distributed system or of a supercomputer based on large-sale parallel processing. Because in distributed systems the communication between processors is based on message exchange, the network topology is of a great importance. The interconnection network can be seen as a graph and the properties of a network can be studied using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponse Time Optimization for Replica Selection Service in Data GridsHusni H.E. AL-Mistarihi, Chan H. YongProblem Statement: Data Grid architecture provides a scalable infrastructure for grid services in order to manage data files and their corresponding replicas that were distributed across the globe. The grid services are designed to support a variety of data grid applications (jobs) and projects. Replica selection is a high-level service that chooses a replica location from among many distributed replicas … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Electric Power Distribution Using Hybrid Simulated Annealing ApproachWalid Ahmed, Alaa F. ShetaThe key goal of electric power distribution companies is to provide a high quality of service with a low cost of operation. The growing customer needs requires a re-distribution of the Power over various nodes of the Distributed Generation (DG) facilitates. The re-distribution might cause over load on various parts of the networks which if not correctly optimized might increase … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Secure Time-Stamp Based Concurrency Control Protocol For Distributed DatabasesShashi Bhushan, R. B. Patel, Mayank DaveIn distributed database systems the global database is partitioned into a collection of local databases stored at different sites. In this era of growing technology and fast communication media, security has an important role to play. In this paper we presented a secure concurrency control protocol (SCCP) based on the timestamp ordering, which provides concurrency control and maintains security. We … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,892 accessesView PDFCite
