Abstract. For large distributed systems built from inexpensive components, one expects to see incessant failures. This paper proposes two models for such faults and analyzes two we...
It has been observed that there are a variety of situations in which the most popular hybrid simulation methods can fail to properly detect the occurrence of discrete events. In th...
A growing trend in the development and deployment of grid computing systems is decentralization. Decentralizing these systems helps make them more scalable and robust, but poses s...
We estimate with a branching process model the propagation of load shed and the probability distribution of load shed in simulated blackouts of an electric power system. The avera...
Abstract. In this paper, we have investigated the feasibility of a selforganized evacuation process when compared with a centralized control. The evacuation strategy is based on â€...
