background & purpose: in the health sector, in addition to the important consequence of treatment, health system should meet the expectations regarding the desirability of services. expectations and perceptions of patients about the desirability of services play an important role in selecting hospitals, their loyalty to the organization & replanning to purchase. thus the present study has been ...

Abstract Growing intelligent cities is witnessing an increasing amount of local energy generation through renewable resources. Energy trade among the generators ( aka prosumers) and consumers can reduce consumption cost also dependency on conventional resources, not to mention environmental, economic, societal benefits. However, these sources might be enough fulfill demands. A hybrid approach, ...

Support for economic resource allocation in Application Layer Networks (such as Grids) is critical to allow applications and users to effectively exploit computational and data infrastructure as a utility. The evaluation of resource allocation strategies plays a major part in the selection of a resource allocation method. This paper presents an evaluation framework for resource allocation metho...

A key issue in utility computing environments, such as utility Grids, is the provisioning, orchestration and allocation of resources to services. In these environments, providers need to decide how resources are allocated to service applications according to their workloads, guaranteeing the Quality of Service (QoS) required by customers. Autonomic computing inspired mechanisms are appealing to...

We propose a distributed scheduling algorithm for HPC grids and clouds that allows users, resource providers, and grid community to participate in the scheduling decision. Its hierarchical representation of dynamically configurable criteria integrates arbitrary aspects into the process in a well-defined manner; thus, the algorithm can accommodate different views and policies of geographically d...

Auction-based models and protocols introduce money and pricing as the technique for coordination between users and producers of resources in grids. In this paper, we propose a multi-attribute reverse auction protocol to allocate grid resource. In order to enhance the information efficiency we develop a novel interactive approach supporting both user agents and producer agents. In this approach,...

Due to the prospect of climate change and challenges posed by European Union modern power grid, a decentralized system based on distributed energy sources is being created from centralized utility power. It also involves new ideas operation management grids, especially at level low-voltage distribution networks, where prosumers play special role. In addition transformation renewables, aim incre...

This study presents MATLAB/Simulink model of Sample and Hold Circuit system for the automation of transmission utility to suppress the outage of grids. The traditional fault diagnosis methods like SCADA systems, digital fault recorders, travelling wave fault locators, multi agent system and other monitoring devices are haggard upon to inform the engineers of incidents, problems and fault. In th...
