Distributed or parallel software with synchronous communication via rendezvous is found in client-server systems and in proposed Open Distributed Systems, in implementation environments such as Ada, V, Remote Procedure Call systems, in Transputer systems, and in speciication techniques such as CSP, CCS and LOTOS. The delays induced by rendezvous can cause serious performance problems, which are...

Emergency Medical Service (EMS) systems are a service that provides acute care and transportation to a place for definitive care, to people experiencing a medical emergency. The ultimate goal of EMS systems is to save lives. The ability of EMS systems to do this effectively is impacted by several resource allocation decisions including location of servers (ambulances), districting of demand zon...

wind power generation is variable and uncertain. in the power systems with high penetration of wind power, determination of equivalent operating reserve is the main concern of systems operator. in this paper, a model is proposed to determine operating reserves in simultaneous market clearing of energy and reserve by stochastic programming based on scenarios generated via monte carlo simulation ...

the advantages and special characteristics of service oriented architecture and expansion of employing such architecture have brought security topics which are different in some cases from the security principles of traditional information systems. in this article our aim is the examination of various indices of security and the presentation of strategies for security in information systems by ...

The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...

The issue of Quality of Service (QoS) performance analysis in packet switching networks has drawn a lot of attention in the networking community in recent years. There is a lot of work including an elegant theory under the name of network calculus focusing on analysis of deterministic worst case QoS performance bounds. In the meantime, other researchers have studied the stochastic QoS performan...
