Abstract When people are keen to exploring the thermoelectric properties of polymer composite inorganic electrolyte aqueous flexible electronic devices, complicated chemical configuration transition metal chloride anion has not been paid attention and reported. Here, we demonstrate a hydrated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-cellulosic membrane that relies on thermal gradient diffusion complexe [CuCl 4 ...

This paper proposes a novel optimization technique for simultaneous coordinated designing of power system stabilizer (PSS) and static VAR compensator (SVC) as a damping controller in the multi-machine power system. PSO and chaos theory is hybridized to form a chaotic PSO (CPSO), which reasonably combines the population-based evolutionary searching ability of PSO and chaotic searching behavior. ...

The principles for designing and building shared distributed computing environments are still evolving: today, there exist a myriad of environments targeting different applications serving different user communities. NSF’s GENI initiative proposes a new shared environment to serve as an open testbed for designing and building a Future Internet. The design of GENI, along with other distributed c...

Coordinating the behavior of a large number of agents to achieve a system level goal poses unique design challenges. In particular, problems of scaling (number of agents in the thousands to tens of thousands), observability (agents have limited sensing capabilities), and robustness (the agents are unreliable) make it impossible to simply apply methods developed for small multi-agent systems com...

Links in many real-world networks activate and deactivate in correspondence to the sporadic interactions between the elements of the system. The activation patterns may be irregular or bursty and play an important role on the dynamics of processes taking place in the network. Information or disease spreading in networks are paradigmatic examples of this situation. Besides burstiness, several co...

We consider the problem of designing rollback error recovery algorithms for dynamic, wide area distributed systems like the Internet. The characteristics and the scale of such a system complicate the design and performance of the algorithms. Traditional message passing based algorithms incur large overhead, in both the network traffic and message passing delay, in such a wide-area environment. ...

The XML-based Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) for document exchange defines a three-level document architecture with each higher level adding more specificity to the markup of the document. Such a layered architecture also meets the requirement for semantic processing of hierarchically structured clinical documents. The CDA supports shared care between hospital-based and community-based ph...

mobile computing systems are made up of different components among which mobile support stations (msss) play a key role. this paper proposes an efficient mss-based non-blocking coordinated checkpointing scheme for mobile computing environment. in the scheme suggested nearly all aspects of checkpointing and their related overheads are forwarded to the msss and as a result the workload of mobile ...

Coordinated Multi-Point transmission/reception (CoMP) can increase the performance of the cell edge users, the spectrum efficiency and mitigate the inter-cell interference among cells. In the CoMP scenario, several base stations which usually need satisfy the cooperating condition serve a single or several cell-edge users cooperatively. As we know, the CoMP techniques can be characterized into ...

RITMARE is a Flagship Project by the Italian Ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca (MIUR) and coordinated by the National Research Council (CNR). It aims at the interdisciplinary integration of national marine research. In pursuing a Linked Open Data (LOD) vocation, the RITMARE sub-project 7 is building the necessary domain-related data structures by leveraging existing RDF...
