In the last years, various approaches have been shown to measure the reliability of an IP multicast network. Some of these tools are intended just to check the reachability of different hosts and routers via IP multicast, some are going a little further. They try to measure the Quality of Service (QoS) of the IP multicast network as well. The most interesting approach is the MRM (Multicast Reac...

There have been numerous and varied research efforts to automate point-feature label placement (PFLP). It seems that many well-established precepts for pointfeature annotation used by human cartographers have been neglected so far. As a consequence, the currently implemented, fully automated solutions are limiting computer generated maps in their expressive power. In this paper we present a com...

this paper describes an advantageous method for using the capacitor banks in the distribution network, optimally. the aim is to determine the count, location and capacitor values in order to minimize the annual cost resulting from energy losses and capacitor bank’s installation cost. besides, in the case of having nonlinear loads in the network, by installing capacitors in appropriate locations...

Individually Network reconfiguration or Capacitor control perform well in minimizing power loss and improving voltage profile of the distribution system. But for heavy reactive power loads network reconfiguration and for heavy active power loads capacitor placement can not effectively reduce power loss and enhance voltage profiles in the system. In this paper, an hybrid approach that combine ne...

Utilizing capacitor banks is very conventional in distribution network in order for local compensation of reactive power. This will be more important considering uncertainties including wind generation and loads uncertainty. Harmonics and non-linear loads are other challenges in power system which complicates the capacitor placement problem. Thus, uncertainty and network harmonics have been con...

Several problems are emerging in the context of communication networks and most them must be solved reduced computing time since they affect to critical tasks. In this research, monitor placement problem is tackled. This tries cover communications an entire network by locating a specific nodes network, such way that every link remains surveyed. case solution cannot generated allowed time, penal...
