Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ces dernières années, de nouvelles problématiques sont nées au vu des considérations écologiques de plus en plus présentes dans notre société. Dans le domaine de la technologie de l'Information, les centres de calcul consomment actuellement environ 1.5% de l'électricité mondiale. Cela ne cesse d'augmenter en raison de l'évolution de nombreux domaines et particulièrement du Cloud Computing. Outre cet aspect environnemental, le contrôle de la consommation d'énergie fait désormais partie intégrante des paramètres de Qualité de Service (QoS) incombant aux fournisseurs de services de Cloud Computing. En effet, ces fournisseurs de services à la demande proposent à leurs utilisateurs un contrat de QoS, appelé SLA (Service Level Agreement), qui définit de manière précise la qualité de service qu'ils s'engagent à respecter. Le niveau de QoS proposé influence directement la qualité d'utilisation des services par les utilisateurs, mais aussi la consommation et le rendement général de l'ensemble des ressources de calcul utilisées, impactant fortement les bénéfices des fournisseurs de services.Le Cloud Computing étant intrinsèquement lié à la virtualisation des ressources de calcul, une élaboration de modèles d'architecture matérielle et logicielle est proposée afin de définir les caractéristiques de l'environnement considéré. Ensuite, une modélisation détaillée de paramètres de QoS en termes de performance, de sûreté de fonctionnement, de sécurité des données et de coûts est proposée. Des métriques associées à ces paramètres sont définies afin d'étendre les possibilités d'évaluation des SLA. Ces modélisations constituent la première contribution de cette thèse.Il convient alors de démontrer comment l'utilisation et l'interprétation de plusieurs métriques de QoS ouvrent la possibilité d'une analyse plus complexe et plus fine de la perspicacité des algorithmes de placement. Cette approche multi-critères leur apporte des informations importantes sur l'état de leur système qu'ils peuvent analyser afin de gérer le niveau de chaque paramètre de QoS. Ainsi, quatre métriques antagonistes, incluant la consommation énergétique, ont été sélectionnées et utilisées conjointement dans plusieurs algorithmes de placement de manière à montrer leur pertinence, l'enrichissement qu'elles apportent à ces algorithmes, et comment un fournisseur de service peut tirer profit des résultats d'une optimisation multi-objectifs. Cette seconde contribution présente un algorithme génétique (GA) ainsi que deux algorithmes gloutons. L'analyse du comportement de l'algorithme génétique a permis de démontrer différents intérêts d'une optimisation multi-critères appliquée à des métriques de QoS habituellement ignorées dans les études dédiées au Cloud Computing.La troisième contribution de cette thèse propose une étude de l'impact de l'utilisation des métriques de QoS sur l'ordonnancement de machines virtuelles au cours du temps. Pour cela, le simulateur CloudSim a été exploité et étendu afin d'améliorer ses fonctionnalités de gestion de consommation énergétique. Tout d'abord par l'ajout du DVFS (Dynamic Voltage & Frequency Scaling) apportant une gestion dynamique très précise des fréquences de fonctionnement CPU, puis la possibilité de reconfiguration de machines virtuelles et enfin par la gestion dynamique des évènements. Les simulations effectuées mettent en jeu l'ensemble de ces outils énergétiques ainsi que les algorithmes de placement et évaluent chacune des métriques de QoS sélectionnées. Ces simulations donnent une vision temporelle de l'évolution de celles-ci, en fonction des algorithmes utilisés et de plusieurs configurations d'optimisation du GA. Cela permet d'analyser sous différents angles le comportement des algorithmes gloutons, l'impact des optimisations du GA, et l'influence des métriques les unes par rapport aux autres.Une collaboration a pu être établie avec le laboratoire CLOUDS Laborartory de Melbourne, dirigé par Prof. Rajkumar Buyya.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le travail de thèse présenté dans ce rapport a pour finalité de proposer des solutions à l'ordonnancement dans les systèmes informatiques temps-réel à contraintes fermes (TRCF). Le système est supposé assurer l'ordonnancement de tâches périodiques définies sous des contraintes de Qualité de Service (QoS). Il doit aussi être capable de gérer l'occurrence de tâches apériodiques pouvant induire une surcharge temporaire de traitement. Dans un premier temps, une introduction à l'ordonnancement dans les systèmes temps-réel et une synthèse bibliographique sur l'ordonnancement en présence de surcharge, sont présentées. En second lieu, deux nouvelles stratégies d'ordonnancement de tâches périodiques définies sous des contraintes de QoS utilisant le modèle Skip-Over, sont proposées. Nous consacrons ensuite notre étude à la problématique de l'ordonnancement d'un ensemble hybride de tâches constitué de tâches périodiques définies sous des contraintes de QoS et de tâches apériodiques. La contribution des travaux de thèse se focalise sur l'utilisation du serveur optimal EDL (Earliest Deadline as Late as possible) avec des tâches périodiques présentant des contraintes de QoS. Puis, nous nous intéressons à l'évaluation des stratégies d'ordonnancement proposées sur la base d, la stabilité et la robustesse. S'appuyant sur des travaux précédents relatifs à la tolérance aux fautes, nous présentons deux nouveaux algorithmes d'ordonnancement pour le modèle Skip-Over, qui améliorent le comportement d'un système avec des contraintes de QoS. En dernier lieu, nous présentons l'intégration, sous Linux temps-réel, des différentes stratégies d'ordonnancement sous contraintes de QoS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Résumé en anglais] This work focuses on the scheduling algorithms under (m,k)-firm constraint, as well as the applications for QoS (quality of service) management in the networks and distributed real-time system. The research aim is to achieve the deterministic guarantee of QoS with high resource utilization. The contributions in this thesis include (1) proposing a sufficient condition for determining the schedulability of a real-time task set under Distance Base Priority scheduling algorithm; (2) defining a novel real-time constraint which relaxes the (m,k)-firm constraint and provides a more suitable modelling of soft real-time; (3) developing an effective resource provisioning algorithm under this relaxed (m,k)-firm constraint; (4) proposing an active queue management mechanism, called Double Leaks Bucket, which can guarantee the QoS with dynamic dropping of the packets during the networks overload period

Download or read book Project Scheduling written by Jan Weglarz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project scheduling problems are, generally speaking, the problems of allocating scarce resources over time to perform a given set of activities. The resources are nothing other than the arbitrary means which activities complete for. Also the activities can have a variety of interpretations. Thus, project scheduling problems appear in a large spectrum of real-world situations, and, in consequence, they have been intensively studied for almost fourty years. Almost a decade has passed since the multi-author monograph: R. Slowinski, 1. W~glarz (eds. ), Advances in Project Scheduling, Elsevier, 1989, summarizing the state-of-the-art across project scheduling problems, was published. Since then, considerable progress has been made in all directions of modelling and finding solutions to these problems. Thus, the proposal by Professor Frederick S. Hillier to edit a handbook which reports on the recent advances in the field came at an exceptionally good time and motivated me to accept the challenge. Fortunately, almost all leading experts in the field have accepted my invitation and presented their completely new advances often combined with expository surveys. Thanks to them, the handbook stands a good chance of becoming a key reference point on the current state-of-the-art in project scheduling, as well as on new directions in the area. The contents are divided into four parts. The first one, dealing with classical models -exact algorithms, is preceded by a proposition of the classification scheme for scheduling problems.

Download or read book FiWi Access Networks written by Martin Maier and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of broadband access networks toward bimodal fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks, described in this book, may be viewed as the endgame of broadband access. After discussing the economic impact of broadband access and current worldwide deployment statistics, all the major legacy wireline and wireless broadband access technologies are reviewed. State-of-the-art GPON and EPON fiber access networks are described, including their migration to next-generation systems such as OCDMA and OFDMA PONs. The latest developments of wireless access networks are covered, including VHT WLAN, Gigabit WiMAX, LTE and WMN. The advantages of FiWi access networks are demonstrated by applying powerful network coding, heterogeneous optical and wireless protection, hierarchical frame aggregation, hybrid routing and QoS continuity techniques across the optical-wireless interface. The book is an essential reference for anyone working on optical fiber access networks, wireless access networks or converged FiWi systems.

Download or read book Adaptive Stream Mining written by Albert Bifet and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a significant contribution to the subject of mining time-changing data streams and addresses the design of learning algorithms for this purpose. It introduces new contributions on several different aspects of the problem, identifying research opportunities and increasing the scope for applications. It also includes an in-depth study of stream mining and a theoretical analysis of proposed methods and algorithms. The first section is concerned with the use of an adaptive sliding window algorithm (ADWIN). Since this has rigorous performance guarantees, using it in place of counters or accumulators, it offers the possibility of extending such guarantees to learning and mining algorithms not initially designed for drifting data. Testing with several methods, including Naïve Bayes, clustering, decision trees and ensemble methods, is discussed as well. The second part of the book describes a formal study of connected acyclic graphs, or 'trees', from the point of view of closure-based mining, presenting efficient algorithms for subtree testing and for mining ordered and unordered frequent closed trees. Lastly, a general methodology to identify closed patterns in a data stream is outlined. This is applied to develop an incremental method, a sliding-window based method, and a method that mines closed trees adaptively from data streams. These are used to introduce classification methods for tree data streams.

Download or read book Arctic Shipping written by Frédéric Lasserre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers both the present state of Arctic shipping and possible future trends with reference to the various sectors of maritime transportation: cruise tourism, container traffic and bulk shipping. Ports are analysed as tools that support the strategies of coastal states to foster the development of resource extraction, enhance the attractiveness of Arctic shipping lanes and enable the control of maritime activities through coast guard deployment. The aim of this book is to draw a picture of the trends of Arctic shipping. How is traffic evolving in Canada’s Arctic, or along the Northern Sea Route? Are there significant differences between bulk and container shipping segments when considering the Arctic market? How are the ports and the hinterland developing and what are the strategies behind those? How is the legal framework shaping the evolution of maritime transportation? The contributors to this book consider all of these questions, and more, as they map out the prospects for Arctic shipping and analyse in detail the development of Arctic shipping as a result of multi-variable interactions. This book will be key reading for industry professionals and post-graduate students alike.

Download or read book Project Scheduling written by Erik Leuven Demeulemeester and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our objectives in writing Project Scheduling: A Research Handbook are threefold: (1) Provide a unified scheme for classifying the numerous project scheduling problems occurring in practice and studied in the literature; (2) Provide a unified and up-to-date treatment of the state-of-the-art procedures developed for their solution; (3) Alert the reader to various important problems that are still in need of considerable research effort. Project Scheduling: A Research Handbook has been divided into four parts. Part I consists of three chapters on the scope and relevance of project scheduling, on the nature of project scheduling, and finally on the introduction of a unified scheme that will be used in subsequent chapters for the identification and classification of the project scheduling problems studied in this book. Part II focuses on the time analysis of project networks. Part III carries the discussion further into the crucial topic of scheduling under scarce resources. Part IV deals with robust scheduling and stochastic scheduling issues. Numerous tables and figures are used throughout the book to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the discussions. For the interested and motivated reader, the problems at the end of each chapter should be considered as an integral part of the presentation.

Download or read book Performance Analysis of Communications Networks and Systems written by Piet Van Mieghem and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-09 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rigourous and self-contained book describes mathematical and, in particular, stochastic methods to assess the performance of networked systems. It consists of three parts. The first part is a review on probability theory. Part two covers the classical theory of stochastic processes (Poisson, renewal, Markov and queuing theory), which are considered to be the basic building blocks for performance evaluation studies. Part three focuses on the relatively new field of the physics of networks. This part deals with the recently obtained insights that many very different large complex networks - such as the Internet, World Wide Web, proteins, utility infrastructures, social networks - evolve and behave according to more general common scaling laws. This understanding is useful when assessing the end-to-end quality of communications services, for example, in Internet telephony, real-time video and interacting games. Containing problems and solutions, this book is ideal for graduate students taking courses in performance analysis.
