Integrating PDAs into Distributed Systems: 2K and PalmORB

2K: A Component-Based Network-Centric Operating System for the Next Millennium

After thirty years of explosive growth in computing and network technology, significant advances are made in the area of distributed operating systems. Even after all these advances, we have today’s market place littered with devices such as PDAs, mobile phones, laptops, pagers, etc. which are not interconnected. Existing Distributed Operating Systems do solve many problems related to resource ...

Closing gaps: integrating food safety management systems into the veterinary curriculum, as a tool to improve food quality and trade

A spline collocation method for integrating a class of chemical reactor equations

. In this paper, we develop a quadratic spline collocation method for integrating the nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) of a plug flow reactor model. The method is proposed in order to be used for the operation of control design and/or numerical simulations. We first present the Crank-Nicolson method to temporally discretize the state variable. Then, we develop and analyze the pro...

Optimal Placement and Sizing of Multiple Renewable Distributed Generation Units Considering Load Variations Via Dragonfly Optimization Algorithm

The progression towards smart grids, integrating renewable energy resources, has increased the integration of distributed generators (DGs) into power distribution networks. However, several economic and technical challenges can result from the unsuitable incorporation of DGs in existing distribution networks. Therefore, optimal placement and sizing of DGs are of paramount importance to improve ...
