faults in computer networks may result in millions of dollars in cost. faults in a network need to be localized and repaired to keep the health of the network. fault management systems are used to keep today’s complex networks running without significant cost, either by using active techniques or passive techniques. in this paper, we propose a novel approach based on imperialist competitive alg...

The energy crisis and environmental concerns have accelerated the development of active distribution network (ADN) with a high proportion renewable energy, which poses challenge to operation power system. Moreover, using management means promote consumption is an important task ADN. Therefore, as means, reconfiguration used enhance adjustable capacity system at planning stage. Firstly, “wind–li...

The fact that humans and animals have several sensory modalities and use them together to make sense of the world imbues their behaviour with an immense richness and robustness. In this study, recurrent neural networks and minimal agents with active vision are evolved for a perceptual discrimination task (unimodal and bimodal). The purpose of this study is mainly exploratory: to test which of t...

Routers handle data packets from sources unresponsive to TCP’s congestion avoidance feedback. We are interested in the impact these sources have on AQM’s control of long-lived TCP traffic. In this paper, we combine models of TCP/AQM dynamics with models of unresponsive traffic to analyze the effects on AQM performance.

Increasing amounts of variable renewable generation are likely to enter our energy systems in the near future. In order to accommodate this generation onto our electricity networks, the concept of active network management (ANM) has become a significant area of research interest. Network connected energy storage is considered here as a means to actively control the network in order to increase ...
