One of the critical scheduling problems in distributed computing environment is load balancing on a cluster of replicated servers which face a constant pressure of increased network traffic and diverse load levels. The key issue in server load balancing in a DCS is to select an effective load balancing scheme to distribute clients’ requests to the servers. In this paper, we have investigated th...

Battery management systems (BMS) are a key element in electric vehicle energy storage systems. The BMS performs several functions concerning to the battery system, its key task being balancing the battery cells. Battery cell unbalancing hampers electric vehicles’ performance, with differing individual cell voltages decreasing the battery pack capacity and cell lifetime, leading to the eventual ...

The static balancing of spherical three-degree-of-freedom (DoF) parallel mechanisms and manipulators is addressed in this paper. Static balancing is defined here as the set of conditions on mechanism dimensional and inertial parameters which, when satisfied, ensure that the weight of the links does not produce any torque (or force) at the actuators for any configuration of the mechanism, under ...

The Design, Optimization, and Performance of an Adaptive Middlware Load Balancing Service by Ossama Othman Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering University of California, Irvine Professor Douglas C. Schmidt, Chair Distributed object computing (DOC) middleware is increasingly used as the infrastructure for applications with stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements, incl...

In MIPv6 network most of the HA load balancing deals with Dynamic Home Agent Address Discovery (DHAAD). Load balancing of multiple Home Agents (HAs) has not been standardized. Our contribution in this paper, Dynamic HA selection with Load Balancing mechanism (DHSLB) mechanism is categorized into two phases. First, we introduce HA selection based on preference value and load. Second, we analyze ...

In this paper, we present a game theoretic framework for obtaining a user-optimal load balancing scheme in heterogeneous distributed systems. We formulate the static load balancing problem in heterogeneous distributed systems as a noncooperative game among users. For the proposed noncooperative load balancing game, we present the structure of the Nash equilibrium. Based on this structure we der...

Load balancing is a technique in which workload is distributed across multiple computers or other resources to get optimal resource utilization, minimum time delay, maximize throughput and avoid overload. Mainly in operation of parallel and distributed computing systems, load balancing problem arises. Load balancing scheme can be characterized as: static and dynamic load balancing. This paper r...

Distributed processing can be used for solving large computation intensive problems. A distributed system may include parallel supercomputers, networked workstations and PCs. This paper discusses load balancing of a parallel job in a distributed computation environment. The information necessary for load balancing is studied. The software tools that automatically collect the information and per...

As IPv6 deployment grows, it is important to develop new measurement techniques that allow us to study the IPv6 Internet. We implement an IPv6 version of the Multipath Detection Algorithm and use it from 12 geographically-distributed vantage points on two different platforms to characterize IPv6 routers that perform load balancing. Overall, we find that 74% of IPv6 routes traverse at least one ...
