This study was aimed to search genetic variants, to investigate phylogenetic relationships between pig breeds and to provide basic genetic information of Korean Native Pigs (KNP) using the variations of the Swine Leukocyte Antigen-6 (SLA-6) gene. Cloning of the Swine Leukocyte Antigen (SLA)-6 gene in the MHC non-classical region was performed with spleen tissues of Korean Native Pigs (KNP). Seq...

Service level agreement (SLA) is an essential part of cloud systems to ensure maximum availability of services for customers. With a violation of SLA, the provider has to pay penalties. Thus, being able to predict SLA violations favors both the customers and the providers. In this paper, we explore two machine learning models: Naive Bayes and Random Forest Classifiers to predict SLA violations....

Understanding the neurobiological basis of individual differences in second language acquisition (SLA) is important for research on bilingualism, learning, and neural plasticity. The current study used quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) to predict SLA in college-aged individuals. Baseline, eyes-closed resting-state qEEG was used to predict language learning rate during eight weeks of Fr...

In this paper we propose a new infrastructure for efficient job scheduling on the Grid using multiagent systems and a market-like Service Level Agreement (SLA) negotiation protocol based on the well known Contract Net Protocol. The agent-based Grid scheduling system involves user agents, local scheduler agents, and super scheduler agents. User agents submit jobs to Grid Compute resources. Local...

As the contents of multimedia proliferate, the higher level of network speed is needed to the customer. SLA is a negotiated agreement between a customer and the service provider on levels of service characteristics and the associated set of metrics. In this paper, we propose an SLA management system reacting not only when an SLA is violated, but also before imminent SLA violations. We provides ...

SLA is a negotiated agreement between a customer and the service provider on levels of service characteristics and the associated set of metrics. In this paper, we propose a policy-based SLA management system. We present an approach to react not only when an SLA is violated, but also before imminent SLA violations. We provide a common generic framework capable of components to interwork via XML...

Federated computing environments offer requestors the ability to dynamically invoke services offered by collaborating providers in the virtual service network. Without an efficient resource management that includes Dynamic SLA Negotiation, however, the assignment of providers to customer’s requests cannot be optimized and cannot offer high reliability without relevant SLA guarantees. We propose...
