Features legislation in the field of organisation and performance of work at height

Статья посвящена рассмотрению проблем законодательства Российской федерации в области охраны труда при работах на высоте. Проведенное исследование нормативной базы позволяет увидеть неточности и недоработки в определениях, которые необходимо пересмотреть. Данная проблема не позволяет однозначно трактовать нормативную базу и применять правила при работах на высоте.The article is devoted to the analysis of the Russian Legislation in the field in the field of labor protection while working at height. The study of the regulatory framework allowed finding out inaccuracies and flaws in the definitions that need to be revised. This problem does not allow understanding the regulatory framework unequivocally and applying it while working at height

Exploiting Locality of Churn for FIB Aggregation

Snapshots of the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) in Internet routers can be compressed (or aggregated) to at least half of their original size, as shown by previous studies. In practice however, the permanent stream of updates to the FIB due to routing updates complicates FIB aggregation: keeping an optimally aggregated FIB in face of these routing updates is algorithmically challenging. A sensible trade-off has to be found between the aggregation gain and the number of changes to the aggregated FIB. This paper is the first to investigate whether the spatial and temporal locality properties of updates to the tree-like FIB data structure can be leveraged by online FIB aggregation. Our contributions include (a) an empirical study of the locality of updates in public Internet routing data, (b) the specification and simulations of our Locality-aware FIB Aggregation algorithm (LFA), and (c) a competitive analysis that sheds light on the performance of online algorithms under worst-case update streams. Our results show that even a simple algorithm like LFA can effectively exploit the locality of FIB churn to keep low the number of updates to the aggregated FIB, as most FIB updates affect only a small number of regions in the FIB
