Applying reinforcement learning towards automating resource allocation and application scalability in the cloud
(Wiley, 2012-05-30)Public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon, GoGrid and Rackspace deliver computational resources by means of virtualisation technologies. These technologies allow multiple independent virtual machines ... -
Appraisal and ranking of poly-aluminium chloride, ferric chloride and alum for the treatment of dairy soiled water
(Elsevier, 2020-04-29)Land spreading of dairy soiled water (DSW) may result in pollution of ground and surface waters. Treatment of DSW through sludge-supernatant separation using chemical coagulants is a potential option to reduce the negative ... -
Appraising stone column settlement prediction methods using finite element analyses
(Springer Verlag, 2014-09-26)Numerous approaches exist for the prediction of the settlement improvement offered by the vibro-replacement technique in weak or marginal soil deposits. The majority of the settlement prediction methods are based on the ... -
Architecture for a Home Media Network Based on PTP-IP Connectivity Techniques
(IEEE, 2008-08-05)PTP/IP functionality is extended to enable networked devices to be organized in a sequential media processing workflow. The additional device functionality necessary to support this network architecture is not unduly complex ... -
Architecture for gathering and integrating collaborative information for decision support in emergency situations
(Inderscience, 2018-01-16)The involvement of citizens in supporting crisis situations is no longer a new phenomenon. In the past, the lack of data was one of the main barriers faced by public managers in the decision-making process. Today the ... -
