Quality and value of an IC product are functions of power, performance, area, cost and reliability. The forthcoming 2013 ITRS roadmap observes that while manufacturers continue to enable potential Moore’s Law scaling of layout densities, the “realizable” scaling in competitive products has for some years been significantly less. In this paper, we consider aspects of the question, “To what exten...

The popularity and commercial use of cloud computing has prompted an increased concern among cloud service providers for both energy efficiency and quality of service. One of the key techniques used for the efficient use of cloud server resources is virtual machine placement. This work introduces a precise VM placement algorithm for power conservation and SLA violation prevention. The mathemati...

Distributed generators are beneficial in reducing the losses effectively compared to other methods of loss reduction. In this paper optimal DG unit placement using fuzzy logic is discussed. The optimal size of the DG unit is calculated analytically using approximate reasoning suitable nodes are determined for DG unit placement. Voltage and power loss reduction indices of distribution system nod...

As sensor-based networks become more prevalent, scaling to unmanageable numbers or deployed in difficult reach areas, real-time failure localisation is becoming essential for continued operation. Network tomography, a system and application-independent approach, has been successful localising complex failures (i.e., observable by end-to-end global analysis) traditional networks. Applying networ...

Distribution of distributed generation resources in distribution systems has several advantages, including reducing losses, improving voltage profiles, reducing pollution, and increasing system reliability. However, one of the most important points regarding the placement of these resources in distribution networks is economic issues and the return on investment and the increase in profits from...
