A SURVEY ON PROFIT MAXIMIZATION SCHEME WITH GUARANTEED QUALITY OF SERVICE

A fruitful and successful way to deal with give enlisting resources and organizations to customers on interest, appropriated registering has ended up being progressively popular. From cloud organization suppliers' perspective, advantage is a champion amongst the most basic thoughts, and it is generally controlled by the outline of a cloud organization stage under given business segment demand. In any case, a lone whole deal renting arrangement is regularly gotten to orchestrate a cloud stage, which can't guarantee the organization quality yet prompts honest to goodness resource waste. In this paper, a twofold resource renting arrangement is sketched out firstly in which transient renting and whole deal renting are joined going for the present issues. This twofold renting arrangement can sufficiently guarantee the way of organization of all sales and reduction the advantage misuse amazingly. Also, an organization structure is considered as a M/M/m+D lining model and the execution markers that impact the advantage of our twofold renting arrangement are inspected, e.g., the ordinary charge, the extent of sales that need break servers, and so forth. Thirdly, an advantage expansion issue is characterized for the twofold renting arrangement and the updated configuration of a cloud stage is gotten by handling the advantage enhancement issue. Finally, a movement of calculations is coordinated to take a gander at the event of our proposed arrangement with that of the single renting arrangement. The results show that our arrangement can't simply guarantee the organization way of all requesting, moreover get more advantage than the last said

Enhancing Service Lifecycle Management - Costing as Part of Service Descriptions

Outsourcing of IT and business processes results in an increased exchange of services. For inter-organizational service exchange to be successful, the participating network players have to establish unified and thus interoperable means of service description. An analysis of contemporary approaches identified a deficit of almost all approaches to address monetary aspects of a service, especially costs. This paper argues that costs are prevalent in almost all stages of a services’ lifecycle, and thus its’ role within Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) is paramount. Recognizing this discrepancy, the paper proposes a basic version of a costing model that allows for a multi-periodic depiction of service-related costs as part of a service description. It is modeled and implemented as an extension of USDL, the Unified Service Description Language. A case example from the financial services industry demonstrates the artifact’s applicability

Semantic web in manufacturing

Advances in manufacturing systems include attempts to create collaborative networks for enterprise integration and information interoperability. To achieve collaboration and sharing effectively, various networking technologies have been proposed in the literature. The web has emerged as a basic entity for interconnecting man and machine and almost all parts of the enterprise Community are being reshaped to exploit the opportunities that it offers. Apart from web technology, there are various other tools and techniques that have attracted research communities for representing data in ways that both machines and humans can understand. Semantic web, the second-generation web technology, is enriched by machine-processable information to support the users in their tasks. This paper presents the vision of the semantic web and describes ontologies and associated metadata as the building blocks of the semantic web. it reviews the literature dealing with the application of the semantic web and ontology in the broad domain of manufacturing. First, brief details about key enablers, i.e. web services, semantic web, semantic services, and ontology, are presented. Then the implementation of these approaches in different sectors of manufacturing is discussed. A knowledge base for all the information resources concerned with the manufacturing domain is also built up in this paper. An ontology model for a knowledge base of information resources is designed in Protege software, which can be used for storing and searching information about authors, journals, blogs, newspapers, and many other sources of information

Tidal-band and high-frequency internal variability on the central Oregon inner shelf

Analogous to ocean surface waves, waves in the ocean interior also experience steepening, breaking, and dissipation as they approach the coastline. Much less is known about this internal beach. In this work, extensive moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and temperature/salinity data together with optical remote sensing are combined to describe and understand tidal-band and high-frequency internal wave propagation over the Oregon mid and inner shelf. Semidiurnal baroclinic velocity is dominated by the first mode at all locations, with larger velocities on the mid shelf and northern part of a large submarine bank. Mid-shelf sites have baroclinic ellipticity that is near the theoretical value for single, progressive internal tidal waves compared to more linearly polarized currents over the inner shelf. Temporal variability does not correspond to the spring-neap cycle and is overall uncorrelated between mooring locations due to variable along-shelf topography and stratification. An idealized model of two amplitude-modulated internal waves propagating from different directions reproduces some of the observed variability in inner-shelf semidiurnal ellipse parameters. Moored observations were combined with sea-surface imagery to describe the propagation of 11 bore-like internal waves across the inner shelf. The surface expression of these waves is identified by regions of increased pixel intensity during wind speeds between 2 - 5 m/s⁻¹. Optical measurements show that internal waves are refracted by bathymetry, and measured wave speed (~0.15 m/s) is higher than predicted by linear theory (< 0.1 m/s⁻¹). The number and strength of these high-frequency (15 minute period), highly nonlinear features are linked to regional-scale upwelling/downwelling as well as the phase of the mid-shelf internal tide. In general, both surface and bottom-trapped bores are observed on the inner shelf and their polarity can be predicted by the weakly nonlinear parameter of the Korteweg-de Vries wave propagation equation. These bores have different consequences for the amount of horizontal transport they accomplish and where in the water column this transport occurs. The transformation of the internal tide impacts the form of the nonlinear high-frequency oscillations observed on the inner shelf. The most efficient onshore transport of sub-thermocline water is observed during a shallow mid-shelf pycnocline with large mid-shelf semidiurnal displacement that results in only elevation waves onshore

Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska–Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

This paper is a checklist of the fishes that have been documented, through both published and unpublished sources, in marine and estuarine waters, and out 200 miles, from the United States-Canadian border on the Beaufort Sea to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. A minimum of 241 families and 1,644 species are known within this range, including both native and nonnative species. For each of these species, we include maximum size, geographic and depth ranges, whether it is native or nonnative, as well as a brief mention of any taxonomic issues
