Linux containers have recently gained more popularity as an operating system level virtualization approach for running multiple isolated OS distros on a control host or deploying large scale microservicebased applications in the cloud environment. The wide adoption of containers as an application deployment platform also attracts attackers’ attention. Since the system calls are the entry points...

Mobile code has become mainstream, Java’s applets provide a familiar example. Other examples, where the code may be loaded from a local store but may have been provided by a third party, are Enterprise Java Beans [1] and Microsoft’s COM [2]. Here, components execute within a container that provides services to the component. This container and component programming model is very similar to mobi...

The efficiency of a maritime container terminal primarily depends on the smooth and orderly process of handling containers, especially during the ship s loading process. The stowage and associated loading plans are mainly determined by two criteria: ship stability and the minimum number of container rehandles required. The latter is based on the fact that most container ships have a cellular st...

In a graph G, a k-container Ck(u, v) is a set of k disjoint paths joining u and v. A k-container Ck(u, v) is k ∗-container if every vertex of G is passed by some path in Ck(u, v). A graph G is k ∗-connected if there exists a k∗-container between any two vertices. An m-regular graph G is super-connected if G is k∗-connected for any k with 1 k m. In this paper, we prove that the recursive circula...

An approach to the problem of deciding which equipment and manpower must be allocated over a sequence of work shifts is presented. Once these resources are given, a feasible and near-optimal sequence of operations to load and unload a set of ships harboured in an Intermodal Container Terminal is found. The solution of the resource allocation problem is based on a network design formulation that...

In a container terminal, containers unloaded from a ship are moved to the yard during the import operation. The export operation is the reverse of the import process. When a ship is served by multiple shore-cranes having both loading and unloading activities at the same time, a yard-machine can process an import container and an export container in one single round-trip. This paper investigates...

The growths of containerization and transporting goods in containers have created many problems for ports, especially with the development of operation equipments produced by port machine manufacturer. A simulation study was proposed to a new container terminal handling technology, which is comprised of twin 40-foot quay cranes, a low bridge allocation system and twin 40-foot rail mounted gantr...

As more and more container terminals open up all over the world, competition for business is becoming very intense for container terminal operators. They are finding out that even to keep their existing Sea Line customers, they have to make them happy by offering higher quality service. The quality of service they can provide depends on their operating policies and the design of the terminal la...
