This paper examines load sharing in a network of workstations (NOW). It proposes a special load sharing method referred to as epoch load sharing. With this policy, load is evenly distributed among workstations with job migration only at the end of predefined intervals. The time interval between successive load sharing is called an epoch. We compare the performance of epoch load sharing with oth...

Motivated by lateral vibration suppression of a mining cable elevator, which is load-moving system, where the load moves along viscoelastic guideway whose stiffness and damping coefficients are unknown, we present event-triggered adaptive output-feedback boundary control design hyperbolic PDE–ODE coupled system using measurements at PDE actuated ODE, subsystem class 2 × PDEs with spatially-vary...

In order to ease mobility, users should be able to access available services and resources of the local network without manually reconfigure its terminal at each visited network. Therefore, some kind of automatic mechanism is needed to dynamically locate the best available services from any network. The eXtensible Service Discovery Framework (XSDF) is a novel solution to this problem. XSDF is a...
