Routing technologies are discussed in this dissertation with the goal of improving the network availability. The “highly available Internet” is defined as the Internet with functions to forecast and control the network availability. An implementation strategy to approach to the highly available Internet and to the Dependable Internet is described. This dissertation provides a routing simulator ...

This paper describes a new methodology based on peak load consideration for reliability evaluation of a generation system. The methodology has been developed using Simpson’s (1/3) rule for loss of load probability (LOLP) evaluation. Load models are considered as straight line and stepped load duration curve for reliability evaluation. The LOLP evaluation is based on peak load consideration. The...

To analyze the performance of multimedia service systems, which have unreliable resources, and to estimate the capacity requirement of the systems, we have developed a capacity planning model using an open queueing network. By acquisition of utilization, queue length of the resources and packet delay, and reliability of the systems, we have derived the service capacity of the systems along with...

109 Abstract—Static reliability and dynamic reliability are based on electrical power system parameters. The dual network can work as deadbeat controller for the objective network the mechanical parameters are always coupled, with electrical parameters and they cannot be separated. One can use the Fuzzy logic theory to deal with electrical parameters coupled with mechanical parameters in calcul...

r a 200 .021 : +61 3 n@civenv Summary This is the second of three papers describing hydrologic analyses of monthly and annual streamflow data for a global set of 729 unregulated rivers with at least 25 years of continuous data. Capacity estimates of hypothetical reservoirs are computed for each river using the Sequent Peak Algorithm (SPA), Behaviour analysis and the Gould–Dincer Gamma procedure...

BACKGROUND The Worksite Health Promotion Capacity Instrument (WHPCI) was developed to assess two key factors for effective worksite health promotion: collective willingness and the systematic implementation of health promotion activities in companies. This study evaluates the diagnostic qualities of the WHPCI based on its subscales Health Promotion Willingness and Health Promotion Management, w...

In recent years, flash-based SSDs have grown enormously both in capacity and popularity. In highperformance enterprise storage applications, accelerating adoption of SSDs is predicated on the ability of manufacturers to deliver performance that far exceeds disks while closing the gap in cost per gigabyte. However, while flash density continues to improve, other metrics such as a reliability, en...

The Internet Protocol Network Design Problem with Reliability and Routing Constraints (IPRR) can be shortly stated as follows. A telecommunication network is given in terms of a set of nodes and a set of traffic demands; we want to define the minimum cost capacity reservation such that all the traffic is routed even under fault scenarios. Capacity is provided by reserving some already installed...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the Persian version of the Sustained Auditory Attention Capacity Test in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. METHODS The Persian version of the Sustained Auditory Attention Capacity Test was constructed to assess sustained auditory attention using the metho...

In this paper, we present a reliability based evacuation route planning model that seeks to find the relationship between the clearance time, number of evacuation paths and congestion probability during evacuation. Most of the existing models for network evacuation assume deterministic capacity estimates for road links without taking into account the uncertainty in capacities induced by myriad ...
