Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools are commonly adopted in the design, synthesis and simulation of digital circuits. Switch-level simulation, logic synthesis, timing analysis and architecture optimizations are essential CAD tools during digital IC design flow. However, the HDL coding, computation complexity and simulation time overhead makes the design turnaround time much longer. This drawback ...

Grid computing enables sharing, selection and aggregation of computing resources for solving complex and large-scale scientific problems. The resources making up a grid need to be managed to provide a good quality of service. Grid scheduling is a vital component of a Computational Grid infrastructure. This paper presents a dynamic cluster based job scheduling algorithm for efficient execution o...

This empirical paper models three structural factors that are hypothesized to affect the turnaround times between the publication of security advisories and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). The three structural factors are: (i) software product age at the time of advisory release; (ii) severity of vulnerabilities coordinated; and (iii) amounts of CVEs referenced in advisories. Altho...

composite pressure vessel cng made of epoxy – carbon material with nonmetal liner is 60% lighter than aluminum vessel under the same conditions. one of the important parameters in the pressure vessels design is their resistance against impact and prevention of explosion. in this paper, the effects of low velocity impact on composite pressure vessel are investigated using fe analysis. the vessel...
