The objective of this paper is to assess the current state of Container-Based Emulator implementations on the Linux platform. Through a narrative overview, a selection of open source Container-Based emulators are analysed to collect information regarding the technologies used to construct them to assess the current state of this emerging technology. Container-Based Emulators allows the creation...

An important role in the market of transport services belongs to container transportation. Railroads, especially under conditions increased competition from road transport, must respond quickly needs and growing demand for transportation, including interstate traffic. Demand transportation can vary significantly during year, which testifies expediency introducing removable equipment on universa...

Nowadays competition between port container terminals, especially between geographically close ones, is rapidly increasing. How to improve the competitiveness of port container terminals is, therefore, an immediate challenge, with which port operators are confronted. In terms of port competitiveness, the makespan of a container vessel, which is the latest completion time among all handling task...

Increasing fuel costs, post-911 security concerns, and economic globalization provide a strong incentive for container carriers to use available container space more efficiently, thereby minimizing the number of container trips and reducing socio-economic vulnerability. A heuristic algorithm based on a tertiary tree model is proposed to handle the container loading problem (CLP) with weakly het...

Containerized applications are becoming increasingly popular, but unfortunately, current containerdeployment methods are very slow. We develop a new container benchmark, HelloBench, to evaluate the startup times of 57 different containerized applications. We use HelloBench to analyze workloads in detail, studying the block I/O patterns exhibited during startup and compressibility of container i...

Globally, container terminals are trying to expand capacity and increase performance at a minimum of investments. Often the container terminal operations are changing to meet increased customer demands as well as to adapt to new technologies. This paper proposes a simulation model for container terminal system analysis. A simulation model is developed, called SIMPORT, which uses a Multi-Agents ...

Three hardwall container types, one styroblock container type, and two mesh-covered plugs were used to grow longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) seedlings at a nursery in Louisiana. In 2001, these container types, along with bare-root seedlings (from a different seed source), were outplanted on two old-field sites and two cutover sites. There were significant site by treatment interactions. Se...

in this paper, we are going to investigate the growth of the iranian maritime transport with a focus mainly on the north - south transit corridor, review of dry ports in order to support the iranian container terminals at the south ports in order to increase the volume of container storages at the terminals. for the purpose of assessing the outcome of port operational management, the balanced s...
