Computational, data, and service grids, peer to peer systems, and wireless communication systems are examples of open systems where the distinction between providers and consumers of resources is blurred. Individual members of the community contribute computing cycles, storage, services, and communication bandwidth to the pool of resources available to the entire community. While the popularity...

We study how the underlying graph of dependencies of one dimensional cellular automaton may be used in order to move and compose areas of computations. This allows us to deene complex cellular automata, relaxing in some way the inherent synchronism of such networks. and asynchronous computations. R esum e Nous etudions comment le graphe sous-jacent de d ependances d'un automate cellulaire de di...

The most of micro-grids adopt ac distribution as well as conventional po...

A 2D grid is a particular geometric graph that may be used to represent any 2D regular structure such as, for example, pixel grids, game boards, or cellular automata. Pattern mining techniques may be used to automatically extract interesting substructures from these grids. 2D+t grids are temporal sequences of grids which model the evolution of grids through time. In this paper, we show how to e...

Workflows are widely used in applications that require coordinated use of computational resources. Workflow definition languages typically abstract over some aspects of the way in which a workflow is to be executed, such as the level of parallelism to be used or the physical resources to be deployed. As a result, a workflow management system has responsibility for establishing how best to map t...

In this article, we propose to investigate the extension of the SEDT (Squared Euclidean Distance Transformation) on irregular isothetic grids. We give two algorithms to handle different structurations of grids. We first describe a simple approach based on the complete Voronoi diagram of the background irregular pixels, very fast on sparse grids. Then, we extend the separable algorithm defined o...

We discuss the generation of curvilinear composite overlapping grids and the numerical solution of partial differential equations on them. A composite overlapping grid consists of a set of curvilinear component grids that cover a region and overlap where they meet. Continuity conditions (interpolation) are imposed at the overlapping boundaries. The principal advantage of composite grids is in t...

The dorsomedial entorhinal cortex (dMEC) of the rat brain contains a remarkable population of spatially tuned neurons called grid cells (Hafting et al., 2005). Each grid cell fires selectively at multiple spatial locations, which are geometrically arranged to form a hexagonal lattice that tiles the surface of the rat's environment. Here, we show that grid fields can combine with one another to ...

this paper proposes an optimal power flow (opf) algorithm by direct load control (dlc) programs to optimize the operational cost of smart grids considering various scenarios based on different constraints. the cost function includes active power production cost of available power sources and a novel flexible load curtailment cost associated with dlc programs. the load curtailment cost is based ...
