Distributed information system

چکیده
Until the late 70's information system technology (i.e., computers, communications network, etc.) had not been flexible enough to adjust itself to vario~s managerial styles, in particular to decentralized organizations. Computers were large and centralized; consequently, data bases and computing power could not be delegated to the end user. The rapid progress in the development of microcomputers and communications has brought technology to a state where management can subdue the hardware and software configuration to. comply to its managerial approach. Information systems which are less centralized than in the past are labelled Distributed Information Systems (DIS). A DIS is not necessarily a fully distributed system. It is an information system where the responsibility over some of its components has been delegated to end users. For instance, the requirement definition is performed by the user; the analysis, design, and programming are carried out by a central body; the routine operation is undertaken by the user; the insert of software changes and the upgrading of equipment is centrally managed. Such combinations of distributed and centralized activities are widely common. The major problems they raise are not technical but managerial how can management decide what activities are to be distributed, and how distributed activities can still be controlled. It can be observed that in parallel to the technological progress, the literature on DIS has passed through three generations. The first generation (the beginning of the 70's) focused on solving technical problems, e.g., how to connect computers

Adaptive Protection Based on Intelligent Distribution Networks with the Help of Network Factorization in the Presence of Distributed Generation Resources
Factorizing a system is one of the best ways to make a system intelligent. Factorizing the protection system, providing the right connecting agents, and transmitting the information faster and more reliably can improve the performance of a protection system and maintain system reliability against distributed generation resources. This study presents a new method for coordinating network protect...

Abstract—Today, botnets have become a serious threat to enterprise networks. By creation of network of bots, they launch several attacks, distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) on networks is a sample of such attacks. Such attacks with the occupation of system resources, have proven to be an effective method of denying network services. Botnets that launch HTTP packet flood attacks agains...

Introduction: To cope with natural and unnatural critical events such as air crashes, car accidents, chemicals and earthquakes or floods needs powerful resource management. Some of these critical events are tiny and by using local and available resources management could be resolved, but some cover extended geographical areas and so need a massive, vast resources and high level management for e...

This paper aims to design an optimal distributed multi-agent controller for load frequency control and optimal power flow purposes. The controller parameters are optimized using Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm. The designed optimal distributed controller is employed for load frequency control in the IEEE 30-bus test system with six generators. The controller of each generator is consider...
