In recent years, using new methods in utilization of energy resources has become necessary due to environmental pollution and restriction of energy resources. The hybrid system presented in this article produced power with SOFC and Stirling engine. The purpose is to analyze a 50 kW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell that could produce enough thermal energy for a 10 kW Stirling engine working in the hybrid s...

this thesis looked at the effect of clay and silt soil blocking the heat transfer area of the radiator and its effect on the engine coolant through the conduct of experiments and a mathematical model developed. the results indicated that the percentage area covered resulted in a proportional increase of the inlet and outlet temperatures of the coolant in the radiator. the mathematically model d...

Most existing workflow management systems (WFMSs) are based on a client/server architecture. This architecture simplifies the overall design but it does not match the distributed nature of workflow applicationsand imposes severe limitations in terms of scalability and reliability. Moreover, workflow engines are not very sophisticated in terms of data management, forgetting the fact that workflo...

In this paper we propose a new engine management system for hybrid vehicles to enable energy providers and car manufacturers to provide new services. Energy forecasts are used to collaboratively orchestrate the behaviour of engine management systems of a fleet of PHEV’s to absorb oncoming energy in an smart manner. Cooperative algorithms are suggested to manage the energy absorption in an optim...

We are developing an advanced IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) datacenter management system that dynamically minimizes running physical servers depending on resource utilization. The management system periodically monitors the loading of a datacenter, and dynamically repacks virtual machines (VMs) into optimal physical servers. Live migration of VMs and the standby mode of physical servers ar...

Systems Group, Department of Computer Science ETH Zurich Master Thesis Database-Operating system co-design by Jana Giceva We want to investigate how to improve the information flow between a database and an operating system, aiming for better scheduling and smarter resource management. We are interested in identifying the potential optimizations that can be achieved with a better interaction be...

Our goal is to enable a Web user to easily specify distributed data management tasks in place, i.e. without centralizing the data to a single provider. Our system is therefore not a replacement for Facebook, or any centralized system, but an alternative that allows users to launch their own peers on their machines processing their own local personal data, and possibly collaborating with Web ser...
