ADL-RAID: Energy-Saving Data Layout for Dynamic Loads

A Layout Scheme for Duplicated RAID Systems

Failure of disks in RAID is a bottleneck in processing. Data replication of RAID array systems is proposed in this paper for data validity. For a k-times replicated data in a RAID system with n disk arrays, the scheme takes the mean time between failures of the disks in a RAID system, allocates the data of the k-replicas in the n-RAID arrays based on the remaining time to the next failure and t...

Dynamic Base Station Energy Saving with Relays

A Randomly Expandable Method for Data Layout of RAID Storage Systems

With the increase of huge amounts of data in volume, velocity, and variety, the need for capacity of Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) storage systems is dramatically growing. However, the probability of disk failures in RAID storage systems is sharply high with the increase of program/erase cycles, read cycles, and retention time. Furthermore, they are faced with more challenges in ...

An Energy Saving Dynamic Clustering Algorithm for Multi-Hop Data Gathering In Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor networks afford a new Opportunity to observe and interact with physical Phenomena at an unprecedented fidelity. To fully realize this vision, these networks have to be self-organizing, self healing, economical and energyefficient simultaneously. Since the communication task is a significant power consumer, there are various attempts to introduce energy awareness within the commu...

Multi-start simulated annealing for dynamic plant layout problem

In today’s dynamic market, organizations must be adaptive to market fluctuations. In addition, studies show that material-handling cost makes up between 20 and 50 percent of the total operating cost. Therefore, this paper considers the problem of arranging and rearranging, when there are changes in product mix and demand, manufacturing facilities such that the sum of material handling and rearr...
