Most social networks allow connections amongst many people based on shared interests. Social have to offer data like videos, photos with minimum latency the group, which could be challenging as storage cost has minimized and hence entire replication is not a solution. The of across network read-intensive can potentially lead increased savings in energy reduce end-user’s response time. Though si...

In view of the trend towards Industry 4.0, intelligent predictive monitoring and decision-making processes have become a crucial requirement in today’s manufacturing industries to safeguard data exchange industrial assets from damage that would thus prevent achievement overall company goals. For enhanced reliability safe operation machines, frequent maintenance process equipment linked auxiliar...

in this paper by combining caching and replication techniques proposed a hybrid heuristic method based on the greedy algorithm to use the benefit of each other techniques. the algorithm in each interaction compares all the contents and one that made the best benefit value is selected for replication. the hybrid approach tested in a simulation environment and the results show that hybrid algorit...

Evolutionary computation techniques, which are based on a powerful principle of evolution: survival of the ttest, constitute an interesting category of heuristic search. In other words, evolutionary techniques are stochastic algorithms whose search methods model some natural phenomena: genetic inheritance and Darwinian strife for survival. Any evolutionary algorithm applied to a particular prob...

In their 1993 paper, “Statistical Techniques for Language Recognition: An Introduction and Guide for Cryptanalysts,” Ganesan and Sherman present several statistical formulae useful for language recognition based on using a finite stationary Markov as a model to represent language. In my project, I verify the effectiveness of two of these formulae by examining the results when they are applied t...

We propose an approach to testing that combines formal methods with practical criteria, close to the testing engineer’s experience. It can be seen as a framework to evaluate and select test suites using formal methods, assisted by informal heuristics. We also introduce the formalism of enriched transition systems to store information obtained during the testing phase, and to adapt classical tes...

Many strategic actions carry a ‘contagious’ component beyond the immediate locale of the effort itself. Viral marketing and peacekeeping operations have both been observed to have a spreading effect. In this work, we use counterinsurgency as our illustrative domain. Defined as the effort to block the spread of support for an insurgency, such operations lack the manpower to defend the entire pop...
