In recent years, incremental rate of electrical demands made many challenges for policy makers of power systems. Besides, due to economic crisis and environmental concerns about the air pollution, the new investments in thermal power generation units have experienced a noticeable reduction. For this reason, the power system operators should propose novel approaches to make a balance between inc...

This paper studies whether information, communication or automation technologies can enable the consumer demand response necessary to expand dynamic pricing in resource markets such as electricity. Treatment effects from household random assignment to technologies and different price distributions reveal substantial demand reductions during critical and peak times for all technologies, with aut...

In cloud computing, providing an optimal resource to user becomes more and more important. Cloud computing users can access the pool of computing resources through internet. Cloud providers are charge for these computing resources based on cloud resource usage. The provided resource plans are reservation and on demand. The computing resources are provisioned by cloud resource provisioning model...

In cloud computing, provisioning an optimal resource to consumer gets more and more crucial. Cloud computing consumers are able to use the set of computing resources by net. Cloud providers will receive some amount for these computational resources depending on usage of cloud resource. The provisional resource plans are reservation and also on demand. The computing resources will be provided ba...

BitTorrent is a widely popular peer-to-peer content distribution protocol. Unveiling patterns of resource demand and supply in its usage is paramount to inform operators and designers of BitTorrent and of future content distribution systems. This study examines three BitTorrent content-sharing communities regarding resource demand and supply. The resulting characterization is significantly broa...

The explosive growth of the WWW (World Wide Web) is placing a heavy demand on servers. Thus, improving server performance is important and can be achieved by scheduling resources more efficiently in operating systems. We have proposed a CPU resource scheduling policy for improving response time of a WWW server. This policy gives preferential use of the CPU resource to any process of a server th...

Recent research, such as the Active Virtual Network Management Prediction (AVNMP) system, aims to use simulation models running ahead of real time to predict resource demand among network nodes. If accurate, such predictions can be used to allocate network capacity and to estimate quality of service. Future deployment of active-network technology promises to complicate prediction algorithms bec...
