Cloud Reliability Engineering Technologies and Tools

Cloud Reliability Engineering Technologies and Tools

Coud reliability engineering is a leading issue of cloud services. Cloud service providers guarantee computation storage and applications through service-level agreements (SLAs) for promised levels of performance and uptime. Cloud Reliability Engineering: Technologies and Tools presents case studies examining cloud services their challenges and the reliability mechanisms used by cloud service providers. These case studies provide readers with techniques to harness cloud reliability and availability requirements in their own endeavors. Both conceptual and applied the book explains reliability theory and the best practices used by cloud service companies to provide high availability. It also examines load balancing and cloud security. Written by researchers and practitioners the book’s chapters are a comprehensive study of cloud reliability and availability issues and solutions. Various reliability class distributions and their effects on cloud reliability are discussed. An important aspect of reliability block diagrams is used to categorize poor reliability of cloud infrastructures where enhancement can be made to lower the failure rate of the system. This technique can be used in design and functional stages to determine poor reliability of a system and provide target improvements. Load balancing for reliability is examined as a migrating process or performed by using virtual machines. The approach employed to identify the lightly loaded destination node to which the processes/virtual machines migrate can be optimized by employing a genetic algorithm. To analyze security risk and reliability a novel technique for minimizing the number of keys and the security system is presented. The book also provides an overview of testing methods for the cloud and a case study discusses testing reliability installability and security. A comprehensive volume Cloud Reliability Engineering: Technologies and Tools combines research theory and best practices used to engineer reliable cloud availability and performance. | Cloud Reliability Engineering Technologies and Tools

Reliability of Structures

Reliability of Structures

Reliability of Structures enables both students and practising engineers to appreciate how to value and handle reliability as an important dimension of structural design. It discusses the concepts of limit states and limit state functions and presents methodologies for calculating reliability indices and calibrating partial safety factors. It also supplies information on the probability distributions and parameters used to characterize both applied loads and member resistances. This revised and extended second edition contains more discussions of US and international codes and the issues underlying their development. There is significant revision and expansion of the discussion on Monte Carlo simulation along with more examples. The book serves as a textbook for a one-semester course for advanced undergraduates or graduate students or as a reference and guide to consulting structural engineers.

Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge

Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge

This book introduces a new method based on algebraic inequalities for optimising engineering systems and processes with applications in mechanical engineering materials science electrical engineering reliability engineering risk management and operational research. This book shows that the application potential of algebraic inequalities in engineering and technology is far-reaching and certainly not restricted to specifying design constraints. Algebraic inequalities can handle deep uncertainty associated with design variables and control parameters. With the method presented in this book powerful new knowledge about systems and processes can be generated through meaningful interpretation of algebraic inequalities. This book demonstrates how the generated knowledge can be put into practice through covering the algebraic inequalities suitable for interpretation in different contexts and describing how to apply this knowledge to enhance system and process performance. Depending on the specific interpretation knowledge applicable to different systems from different application domains can be generated from the same algebraic inequality. Furthermore an important class of algebraic inequalities has been introduced that can be used for optimising systems and processes in any area of science and technology provided that the variables and the separate terms of the inequalities are additive quantities. With the presented various examples and solutions this book will be of interest to engineers students and researchers in the field of optimisation engineering design reliability engineering risk management and operational research. | Interpretation of Algebraic Inequalities Practical Engineering Optimisation and Generating New Knowledge
