Human administration of storage systems is a large and growing issue in modern IT infrastructures. We are exploring new storage architectures that integrate automated management functions and simplify the human administrative task. Self-* storage systems (pronounced “self-star”— a play on the unix shell wild-card character) are self-configuring, self-organizing, self-tuning, self-healing, self-...

This article presents a model predictive self-healing control (MPSC) scheme for battery system interfaced dual active bridge (DAB) converter in navy ship power (NSPS) with pulsed loads (PPLs). The voltage and frequency of NSPS are vulnerable to PPLs energization. A properly controlled fast dynamic response can mitigate this vulnerability. Model (MPC) is potential solution the DAB achieve distur...

Self-healing cementitious materials with microcapsules are complex multiscale and multiphase materials. The random microstructure of these governs their mechanical transport behaviour. actual can be represented accurately a discrete lattice model, but computational restrictions mean that the size domain considered this approach is limited. By contrast, smeared approach, based on micromechanical...

A coating based on collagen with self-healing properties was developed for applications in mechanical components that are prone to abrasion due to contact with a counter surface. The inherent swelling behavior of collagen in water was exploited as the fundamental mechanism behind self-healing of a wear scar formed on the surface. The effects of freeze-drying process and water treatment of the c...

In this work, we venture out to develop self-optimization features in the Distributed Modular Audio Recognition Framework (DMARF). Here, we use the Autonomic System Specification Language (ASSL) to specify a self-optimization policy and generate the code for the same. This completes the first iteration of the autonomic specification layer for DMARF and enables re-engineered autonomic DMARF syst...

Autonomic computing systems are self-managed systems without the need of human intervention. It is an analogy of the autonomic nervous system in nature. In an autonomic computing system the human operator takes a new rule, instead of controlling the system he just guides the system and devises rules for self-managing system. Every aspect of human life is automated and this makes everyday tasks ...

Nowadays, distributed energy sources are widely used to supply demand in micro grids (MGs) especially the green buildings. Despite increasing number of intermittent resources, MGs have essential influence on decreasing use conventional generation, but it give rise new challenges terms management, stability and reliability system. Multi-agent systems (MASs) as smart units been recently. However,...
