Soft Computing techniques play an important role for decision in applications with imprecise and uncertain knowledge. The application of soft computing disciplines is rapidly emerging for the diagnosis and prognosis in medical applications. Between various soft computing techniques, fuzzy expert system takes advantage of fuzzy set theory to provide computing with uncertain words. In a fuzzy exp...

this study based on investigation for integration wind power into conventional power system with its impact on fossil fuel generators and their generation management. wind power as environmental friendly energy source can reduce the operational cost of the system due to considering no cost for energizing the generator in comparing with fossil fuel generators. however due to unpredictable nature...

Green computing, an emerging field of research that seeks to reduce excess power consumption in high performance computing (HPC), is gaining popularity among researchers. Research in this field often relies on simulation or only uses a small cluster, typically 8 or 16 nodes, because of the lack of hardware support. In contrast, System G at Virginia Tech is a 2592 processor supercomputer equippe...

Traditional hierarchical modelling methods tend to have layers of abstraction corresponding to naturally existing layers of concern in multilevel systems. Although convenient, this is not always optimal for analysis and design. For instance, parts of a system which are in the same layer may not contribute to the same degree on some metric, e.g. system power consumption. To moderate the modellin...

Today’s data centers contain large numbers of compute nodes that require substantial power, and therefore require a large amount of cooling resources to operate at a reliable temperature. The high power consumption of the computing and cooling systems produces extraordinary electricity costs, requiring some data center operators to be constrained by a specified electricity budget. In addition, ...
