In addition, data integration related to database existed in different geographical positions is too risky with the respect of security and velocity of transaction executing and generally posses some disadvantages which can be solved by using the grid database and leads to more efficient function. Therefore, with internet extension among the organizations and institutes and also accordance of grid architecture to it, development of database in grid environments is inevitable. In order to establish a structure for data storing in the width of a grid environment in distributed and heterogonous from tries to storage and distribute data in a wide geographical region. Because of extension and high volume of data, transaction processing in such an environment is complexity and time-consuming. It is obvious that if non-optimal queries are used, transaction efficiency in this database will considerably be decreased. But if appropriate optimal algorithms are used, this efficiency will be so much increased. There are a lot of algorithms suggested for optimization of queries. However, due to difference of grid environments, different optimal algorithms are required. In this study presented algorithm is according to the structure of grid measurement and through a novel solving performs a good function in high data volume grid base systems.","PeriodicalId":161995,"journal":{"name":"2011 UkSim 13th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121829963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identified trends are also used in data compression and fault diagnosis. Although humans are very good at visually detecting such patterns, for control system software it is a difficult problem including trend extraction and similarity analysis. In this paper, an intelligent trend index is developed from scaled measurements. The scaling is based on monotonously increasing, nonlinear functions, which are generated with generalised norms and moments. The monotonous increase is ensured with constraint handling. Triangular episodes are classified with the trend index and the derivative of it. Severity of the situations is evaluated by a deviation index which takes into account the scaled values of the measurements.","PeriodicalId":161995,"journal":{"name":"2011 UkSim 13th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"2008 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125586337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The final part evaluates the innovative design of incorporating dielectric pocket (DP) on top of vertical MOSFET turret with comprehensive device performance analysis as compared to standard vertical MOSFET in nano scale realm. An optimized body doping for enhanced performance of vertical MOSFET was revealed. The vicinity of DP near the drain end is found to reduce the charge sharing effects between source and drain that gives better gate control of the depletion region for short channel effect (SCE) suppression in nanodevice structure.","PeriodicalId":161995,"journal":{"name":"2011 UkSim 13th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124244047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, industrial simulators for driver training are real-time applications that require a virtual environment, either geospecific, geogeneric ora combination of the two, over which the simulation programs will be run. In the final instance, this environment constitutes a geographic location with its specific characteristics of geometry, appearance, functionality, topography, etc. The set of elements that enables the virtual simulation environment to be created and in which the simulator user can move, is usually called the Visual Database (VDB). The main idea behind the work being developed approaches a topic that is of major interest in the field of industrial training simulators, which is the problem of analysing, structuring and describing the virtual environments to be used in large driving simulators.

Queuing theory and Markov chain analysis are effectively used for this purpose. Such a study is useful for understanding how the proposed mathematical models behave which represents a system with integrated voice and data calls in homogenous wireless networks. We also propose to optimise the system characteristics in an attempt to provide better Quality of Service (QoS) for systems with integrated voice and data calls. The proposed models have two dimensions, one for voice calls and one for data calls. A channel is assigned for two input traffic call, namely, voice and data calls. The incoming voice and data calls are queued when the channel is busy. Since voice calls are delay-sensitive, priority is given to voice calls. Also, since there is only one channel, data calls are only serviced if there are no voice calls in the system. For such systems, it is important to analyse the impact of buffering the voice calls as well as data calls for various mean rates of call requests, and mean service times. The analytical models presented are generic which is applicable for various systems with similar characteristics. Numerical results are also provided. The results show that the proposed models can be used for optimisation of the performance of a given network.","PeriodicalId":161995,"journal":{"name":"2011 UkSim 13th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126111272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
