Process migration means moving a process in the middle of its execution from one processor or host to another, for a variety of reasons. Usually, processes are migrated with the aim of balancing the work load across the cluster so that the capacity of underutilized nodes are also exploited. The idea of process migration is borne out of the fact that in the over whelming cases of non migratory s...

Animals form groups for many reasons, but there are costs and benefits associated with group formation. One of the benefits is collective memory. In groups on the move, social interactions play a crucial role in the cohesion and the ability to make consensus decisions. When migrating from spawning to feeding areas, fish schools need to retain a collective memory of the destination site over tho...

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new population-based evolutionary algorithm and one of meta-heuristic algorithms. This technique is based on an old mathematical study that explains the geographical distribution of biological organisms. The first original form of BBO was introduced in 2008 and known as a partial migration based BBO. Few months later, BBO was re-introduced again with a...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between family migration (i.e. couples with or without children moving home) and social stratification in Britain. The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of family migration on social stratification using contemporary large-scale nationally representative data. Design/methodology/approach – The paper investigates da...

Migration is one of the most important issues in Turkey today. Notably, the state forest enterprises are affected by the social, economic, and ecological dimensions of migration; these enterprises find it increasingly difficult to find labor to operate effectively in the forestry activities with each passing day. This study examined population movement over the 1965-2013 period in Kastamonu for...

T the present time important changes in migratory movements are A affecting most Pacific Islands. On their particular scale, the New Hebrides provide an interesting example. In recent years migration to work in the urban areas has ,continued even after the sudden growth of Vila which took place in 1971 and 1972’. On the other hand, the earlier circular migration (see Bedford 1972) which predomi...

OBJECTIVE To (1) provide a contextual analysis of the Caribbean region with respect to forces shaping the current and emerging nursing workforce picture in the region; (2) discuss country-specific case(s) within the Caribbean; and (3) describe the Managed Migration Program as a potential framework for addressing regional and global nurse migration issues. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The Caribbean is i...

Fuzzy relational databases have been introduced to deal with uncertain or incomplete information demonstrating the efficiency of processing fuzzy queries. For these reasons, many organizations aim to integrate flexible querying to handle imprecise data or to use fuzzy data mining tools, minimizing the transformation costs. The best solution is to offer a smooth migration towards this technology...
