In this article, the first and second law analysis of diesel engine based cogeneration system was performed. Fuel utilization efficiency, rate of power, and rate of process heat of the plant were determined and various efficiencies based on both energy and exergy methods and the performance assessment parameters are defined for both the system components and the entire cogeneration plant. The o...

Policy-based storage management has been advertised as the silver bullet to overcome the complexity that limits the amount of storage that can be managed by system administrators. Key to this approach are: a mechanism to specify quality of service (QoS) goals; a canonical virtual model of storage devices and operations; and the mapping of the high level QoS goals to low level storage device act...

Content Management Systems are used to store different types of contents and retrieve them in an efficient way. They contain a persistence layer for large data, a file system and other software modules which are used to facilitate the content management system. On the other hand, a Conceptual Content Management System (CCMS) [CCM] aims to improve the meaning of content with asset modeling (conc...

Cyber Physical Systems can be viewed as large networked systems of hybrid nature. In CPS complex services are enabled by a strong influence between computational and physical components that might be globally distributed. A necessary condition for such service delivery is that resources required for complex services are of high quality and are available at service execution times. In a resource...

This paper describes the new Engine Management System (EMS) ME7. Torque and A/F demands for modern EMS result from both, internal functions (i.e. engine start, idle speed control, catalyst heating) and external systems (i.e. driver’s request, transmission or vehicle dynamic control). With ME7 these demands are processed to the optimized actions of the actuators by a centrally coordinated torque...
