progressive collapse is a chain reaction of failures propagating throughout a portion of the structure disproportionate to the original local failure occurring when a sudden loss of a critical load‐bearing element initiates a structural element failure, eventually resulting in partial or full collapse of the structure. both general services administration (gsa) and united states department of d...

The developments in technologies are expanding the boundaries and broadening the domain of what is technically and economically feasible to achieve in the application of data reconciliation activities in manufacturing plants. They also, naturally, incorporate additional issues and open the opportunities for new research activities. For example, recent developments on model-centric technologies ...

In this paper, we address data reconciliation in peer-to-peer (P2P) collaborative applications. We propose P2P-LTR (Logging and Timestamping for Reconciliation) which provides P2P logging and timestamping services for P2P reconciliation over a distributed hash table (DHT). While updating at collaborating peers, updates are timestamped and stored in a highly available P2P log. During reconciliat...

Dynamic data reconciliation problems are discussed from the perspective of the mathematical theory of ill{posed inverse problems. Regularization is of crucial importance to obtain satisfactory estimation quality of the reconciled variables. Usually, some penalty is added to the least{squares objective to achieve well{posedness of the problem. However, appropriate discretization schemes of the t...

this paper presents an optimal integrated instrumentation sensor network design methodology for complex nonlinear chemical process plants using a combinatorial particle swarm optimiazation (cpso) engine. no comprehensive sensor network design approach has been addressed yet in the literature to simultaneously incorporate cost, precision and reliability requirements for nonlinear plants. the pre...

With distributed computing and mobile applications becoming ever more prevalent, synchronizing diverging replicas of the same data is a common problem. Reconciliation – bringing two structure as close possible without overriding local changes investigated in an algebraic model. Our approach to consider sequences simple commands that describe compared original structure, then determine maximal s...
