The live migration of Virtual Machines (VMs) is a key technology in server virtualization solutions used to deploy Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds. This process, on one hand, increases the elasticity, fault tolerance, and maintainability in the virtual environment. On the other hand, it increases the security challenges in cloud environments, especially when the migration is performed...

This study shows the usefulness of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in maintenance planning and man-agement. An ANN model based on the multi-layer perceptron having three hidden layers and four processing elements per layer was built to predict the expected downtime resulting from a breakdown or a maintenance activity. The model achieved an accuracy of over 70% in predicting the expected downtime.

Virtualization technology is currently becoming increasingly popular and valuable in cloud computing environments due to the benefits of server consolidation, live migration, and resource isolation. Live virtual machine migration is the process of moving virtual machine from one physical host to other without disturbing the users. Effective migration of virtual machine requires the movement of ...

In this paper, we analyze a repair shop serving several fleets of machines that fail from time to time. To reduce downtime costs, a continuous-review spare machine inventory is kept for each fleet. A spare machine, if available on stock, is installed instantaneously in place of a broken machine. When a repaired machine is returned from the repair shop, it is placed in inventory for future use i...

Reliability consists of four components: failure-less operation, maintainability, durability, and preservation ability. For different machines conditions combinations these properties, differences in how they are balanced proportioned essential. tractors, the most important aspect reliability is while for agricultural machines, durability important. Using example a ploughshare, issue increasing...

the induction machines drives becomes more and more important used in many industrial applications. Their attractiveness is largely due to their simplicity, ruggedness and low cost manufacture, easy maint00enance, high power efficiency and high reliability, are susceptible to various types of electrical and/or mechanical faults that can lead to unexpected motor failure and consequently impulsiv...
