Programming distributed applications is already potentially difficult, although tools exist to aid in their creation. Applications developed to communicate over local area networks can expect to enjoy highly reliable communications with minimal latency. However, such applications may no longer continue to perform as expected if moved to a wide-area network environment, due to the reduced perfor...

Constantly growing demands of high productivity and security of computer systems and computer networks call the interest of specialists in the environment of construction of optimum topologies of computer mediums. In earliest phases of design, the study of the topological influence of the processes that happen in computer systems and computer networks allows to obtain useful information which p...

This paper introduces a number of reliability criteria for computer-aided diagnostic systems for breast cancer. These criteria are then used to analyze some published neural network systems. It is also shown that the property of monotonicity for the data is rather natural in this medical domain, and it has the potential to significantly improve the reliability of breast cancer diagnosis while m...

in this paper, simultaneous placement of distributed generation, capacitor bank and protective devices are utilized to improve the efficiency of the distribution network. the objectives of the problem are reduction of active and reactive power losses, improvement of voltage profile and reliability indices and increasing distribution companies’ profit. the combination of firefly algorithm, parti...

Networked Control System (NCS) is a synthetic application which combines control science, computer science and network technology. It is a kind of feedback control systems wherein the control loops are closed through real time control network. NCS technology is applied in industry control system because of its simple structure, easy maintenance and high reliability. Networked control systems (N...

DEFINITION Network GIS Performance (NGP) refers to the level of Quality of Services (QoS) of a Network GIS. NGP includes both the efficient use of Network GIS resources (CPU, memory, massive storage, geospatial data and geospatial services) and the perception of speed of a Network GIS [1]. Network GIS is a GIS where the geospatial data and geospatial processing are distributed across a computer...

The probability that a computer network is operational in an environment of statistically independent link failures has been widely studied. Three natural problems arise, when all nodes are to be connected (all-terminal reliability), when two nodes are to communicate (2-terminal reliability), and when k specified nodes are to communicate (k-terminal reliability); the latter case includes the fi...
