Abstract: Nowadays, big companies such as Google, Microsoft,
which have adequate proxy servers, have perfectly implemented
their web crawlers for a certain website in parallel. But due to
lack of expensive proxy servers, it is still a puzzle for researchers
to crawl large amounts of information from a single website in
parallel. In this case, it is a good choice for researchers to use
free public proxy servers which are crawled from the Internet. In
order to improve efficiency of web crawler, the following two issues
should be considered primarily: (1) Tasks may fail owing to the
instability of free proxy servers; (2) A proxy server will be blocked
if it visits a single website frequently. In this paper, we propose
Proxisch, an optimization approach of large-scale unstable proxy
servers scheduling, which allow anyone with extremely low cost to
run a web crawler efficiently. Proxisch is designed to work efficiently
by making maximum use of reliable proxy servers. To solve second
problem, it establishes a frequency control mechanism which can
ensure the visiting frequency of any chosen proxy server below the
website’s limit. The results show that our approach performs better
than the other scheduling algorithms.
Abstract: Scheduling is the process of dynamically allocating physical resources to User Equipment (UE) based on scheduling algorithms implemented at the LTE base station. Various algorithms have been proposed by network researchers as the implementation of scheduling algorithm which represents an open issue in Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. This paper makes an attempt to study and compare the performance of PF, MLWDF and EXP/PF scheduling algorithms. The evaluation is considered for a single cell with interference scenario for different flows such as Best effort, Video and VoIP in a pedestrian and vehicular environment using the LTE-Sim network simulator. The comparative study is conducted in terms of system throughput, fairness index, delay, packet loss ratio (PLR) and total cell spectral efficiency.
Abstract: In any distributed systems, process scheduling plays a
vital role in determining the efficiency of the system. Process scheduling algorithms are used to ensure that the components of the
system would be able to maximize its utilization and able to complete all the processes assigned in a specified period of time.
This paper focuses on the development of comparative simulator for distributed process scheduling algorithms. The objectives of the works that have been carried out include the development of the
comparative simulator, as well as to implement a comparative study
between three distributed process scheduling algorithms; senderinitiated,
receiver-initiated and hybrid sender-receiver-initiated
algorithms. The comparative study was done based on the Average Waiting Time (AWT) and Average Turnaround Time (ATT) of the
processes involved. The simulation results show that the performance of the algorithms depends on the number of nodes in the system.
Abstract: Advances in computing applications in recent years
have prompted the demand for more flexible scheduling models for
QoS demand. Moreover, in practical applications, partly violated
temporal constraints can be tolerated if the violation meets certain
distribution. So we need extend the traditional Liu and Lanland model
to adapt to these circumstances. There are two extensions, which are
the (m, k)-firm model and Window-Constrained model. This paper
researches on weakly hard real-time constraints and their combination
to support QoS. The fact that a practical application can tolerate some
violations of temporal constraint under certain distribution is
employed to support adaptive QoS on the open real-time system. The
experiment results show these approaches are effective compared to
traditional scheduling algorithms.
