This paper presents a load balancing method to improve network utilization when static routing algorithms are employed. Static routing algorithms can generally be reduced to a path assignment problem with the aim of minimizing a cost function: i.e., maximizing network revenues. Unfortunately the problem, when multiple constraints such as different QoS traffic classes are present, is computation...

This paper presents a technique for providing collision avoidance of arbitrary objects in a computer graphics system. The recursive algorithm implements the method of avoiding the collisions by taking an alternate path and therefore among the available alternate paths, the shortest one is chosen. Under the cluttered environment, maneuvering among the static and moving obstacles is the biggest h...

It is a common misconception that game-based learning is, by its very nature, engaging for the majority of learners. This is not necessarily the case, particularly for learners in Higher Education who may need to be persuaded of the value of learning games. For some learners, games may simply not be perceived as engaging–either in terms of an initial motivation to play or sustained participatio...

in present paper, a point to point optimal path is planned for a mobile manipulator with flexible links and joints. for this purpose, a perfect dynamic modeling is performed for mobile manipulators considering large deformation in links, shear effects, elastic joints, effect of gravitation, and non-holonomic constraints. to study large deformation of links, non-linear relation of displacement-s...

In this study, the progressive collapse response of reinforced concrete buildings designed for ‘government buildings’ occupancy class was investigated numerically. For purpose, two framed were initially according to Turkish Earthquake Code published in 2018. Later, those responses evaluated using Alternate Path direct design approach defined GSA-2016 and UFC 4-023-03 guidelines. Three different...

Diaphragms are a fundamental part of the earthquake-resistant system, and in terms rigidity, it is essential to transmit dynamic loads on base structure.Also, floor openings response buildings against progressive collapse issues that have received less attention.In this study, opening surfaces their positions potential steel moment-resisting frame (SMRF) were investigated according alternate lo...

Distributed link-state routing protocols, including Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System–Intermediate System (IS-IS), have successfully provided robust shortest path for IP networks. However, is inflexible sometimes results in congestion on some critical links. By separating the control plane data plane, centralized of Software Defined Networking (SDN)-based approach possesse...

in this study, an extended stress-based forming limit diagram (fld) for prediction of necking based on the marciniak and kucznski (m-k) model is represented and applied in tube hydroforming. the bulge forming of a straight tube is simulated by finite element method and verified with published experimental data. this adaptive simulation technique is based on the ability to detect the onset and g...

Load-path-based topology optimization is used to synthesize a compliant adaptive aircraft wing leading edge, which deforms in a prescribed way when subject to a single point internal actuation. The load-path-based optimization method requires the specification of a parent lattice. Increasing the complexity of this lattice means the number of parameters required for a complete representation of ...

The Internet provides physical path diversity between a large number of hosts, making it possible for networks to use alternative paths when one path fails to deliver the required Quality of Service. However, for various reasons, many established protocols (e.g. de facto Internet inter-domain routing protocol, Border-Gateway Protocol BGP) do not fully exploit such alternate paths. This paper su...
