The paper presents approaches for fault tolerance and load balancing in QoS provisioning using multiple alternate paths The pro posed multiple QoS path computation algorithm searches for maximally disjoint i e minimally overlapped multiple paths such that the im pact of link node failures becomes signi cantly reduced and the use of multiple paths renders QoS services more robust in unreliable n...

Interactive video-on-demand applications pose a number of interesting problems such as the support of fast forward and rewind at arbitrary speeds. While it has been shown that no single data layout scheme can support these functions at arbitrary speeds without violating load balance conditions, researchers are now exploring methods to allow at least a wide range of speeds to be supported under ...

An accurate dynamic load model plays a crucial role in the analysis of power system transient stability. The WECC dynamic composite load model (CMPLDW) has been developed recently to better represent faultinduced delayed-voltage-recovery (FIDVR) events, which are of increasing concern to electric utilities. To facilitate the understanding of the CMPLDW, it is worth studying the effect of parame...

This paper is describing about design and implementation of multi agent system in intelligent distributed autonomous power system (IDAPS) for a smart grid called micro grid for optimal load scheduling network. The different control architecture contains agents like Load agent, Control agent, and DER agent which are responsible for quick action for micro grid control. The multi agent controller ...

Multistage Interconnection Networks (MIN) with multiple outlets are networks which can support higher bandwidth than those of nonblocking networks by passing multiple packets to the same destination. Fault recovery mechanisms are proposed for two of such networks (TBSF/PBSF) with the best use of their inherent fault tolerant capability. With these mechanisms, on-the-fly fault recovery is possib...

Most existing techniques which employ DWT (discrete wavelet transform) to detect servomechanism fault events are based on the analysis of measured motor current signals. However, the outcomes of these techniques tend to be unreliable when the motor suddenly accelerates or generates a very high output torque. Accordingly, to reduce the occurrence of false alarms, this paper develops a fault dete...

Effect of load variation on network reconfiguration and service restoration plans in balanced and unbalanced distribution systems is studied. Comprehensive survey of the conceptual aspect as well as published algorithms for distribution network reconfiguration is presented. Different reconfiguration networks and scenarios are discussed. Results showed the effectiveness of building restoration p...

Enterprises may use a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to provide a streamlined interface to their business processes. To scale up the system, each tier in a composite service usually deploys multiple servers for load distribution and fault tolerance. Such load distribution across multiple servers within the same tier can be viewed as horizontal load distribution. One limitation of this appr...

This paper presents an algorithm for adaptive determination of the dead timeduring transient arcing faults and blocking automatic reclosing during permanent faults onoverhead transmission lines. The discrimination between transient and permanent faults ismade by the zero sequence voltage measured at the relay point. If the fault is recognised asan arcing one, then the third harmonic of the zero...

This paper deals with two new methods, based on k-NN algorithm, for fault detection and classification in distance protection. In these methods, by finding the distance between each sample and its fifth nearest neighbor in a predefault window, the fault occurrence time and the faulty phases are determined. The maximum value of the distances in case of detection and classification procedures is ...
