The ongoing evolution of the electric power systems brings about the need to cope with increasingly complex interactions of technical components and relevant actors. In order to integrate a more comprehensive spectrum of different aspects into a probabilistic reliability assessment and to include time-dependent effects, this paper proposes an object-oriented hybrid approach combining agent-base...

In order to investigate the effect of tension–compression asymmetry propellant mechanical properties on structural integrity a Nitrate Ester Plasticized Polyether (NEPE) grain, unified constitutive equations under tension and compression were established, new method for grain assessment was proposed NEPE combined axial transverse overloads evaluated. The results indicate that state is in coexis...

Most cascading failure analysis methods successfully capture developments within one control zone, or region comprised of multiple zones, controlled by a single transmission system operator (TSO). They neglect, however, the operations multi-zonal systems. To bridge this gap, authors introduce method for analyses large interconnected power The accounts all zones in system, assesses their flows, ...

Being one of the most commercially successful entertainment software applications, massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) continue to expand in term of the revenue they generate as well as the involvement of users who congregate in their virtual space and form communities around them to support each other. Unlike conventional offline computer games, or networked games with li...

In this paper we characterize the time-dependent behavior of typical queueing systems that arise in ATM networks under the presense of overloads. Transient queue length distribution and transient cell loss probability are obtained numerically and transient characteristics such as maximum overshoot and relaxation time are used t o quantify the effects of congestion periods. A new measure, Expect...

Passive network monitoring applications such as intrusion detection systems are susceptible to overloads, which can be induced by traffic spikes or algorithmic singularities triggered by carefully crafted malicious packets. Under overload conditions, the system may consume all the available resources, dropping most of the monitored traffic until the overload condition is resolved. Unfortunately...

The formative assessment process and the difficulties found in online assessment overloads the educators activities. The doctoral research presented in this paper aims to reduce this overload through a formative assessment support based on interface agents.

Overloads (i.e., critical imbalances between traffic demand and capacity) are currently resolved in the European air transportation network by activating flow management regulations. Flights subject to regulations delayed on ground computer assisted slot allocation system, which uses a first-planned, first-served principle allocate delays. In last decades, many researchers have proposed alterna...

The paper presents the structure of software for a control system dynamic simulation stand based on centrifuge. is intended simulating manned flights with broad range overloads.
