In order to simplify computer management, several system administrators are adopting advanced techniques to manage software configuration of enterprise computer networks, but the tight coupling between hardware and software makes every PC an individual managed entity, lowering the scalability and increasing the costs to manage hundreds or thousands of PCs. Virtualization is an established technology, however its use is been more focused on server consolidation and virtual desktop infrastructure, not for managing distributed computers over a network. This paper discusses the feasibility of the Distributed Virtual Machine Environment, a new approach for enterprise computer management that combines virtualization and distributed system architecture as the basis of the management architecture. © 2008 IEEE.

Background. It has been suggested that the study of women who survive life-threatening complications related to pregnancy (maternal near-miss cases) may represent a practical alternative to surveillance of maternal morbidity/mortality since the number of cases is higher and the woman herself is able to provide information on the difficulties she faced and the long-term repercussions of the event. These repercussions, which may include sexual dysfunction, postpartum depression and posttraumatic stress disorder, may persist for prolonged periods of time, affecting women's quality of life and resulting in adverse effects to them and their babies. Objective. The aims of the present study are to create a nationwide network of scientific cooperation to carry out surveillance and estimate the frequency of maternal near-miss cases, to perform a multicenter investigation into the quality of care for women with severe complications of pregnancy, and to carry out a multidimensional evaluation of these women up to six months. Methods/Design. This project has two components: a multicenter, cross-sectional study to be implemented in 27 referral obstetric units in different geographical regions of Brazil, and a concurrent cohort study of multidimensional analysis. Over 12 months, investigators will perform prospective surveillance to identify all maternal complications. The population of the cross-sectional component will consist of all women surviving potentially life-threatening conditions (severe maternal complications) or life-threatening conditions (the maternal near miss criteria) and maternal deaths according to the new WHO definition and criteria. Data analysis will be performed in case subgroups according to the moment of occurrence and determining cause. Frequencies of near-miss and other severe maternal morbidity and the association between organ dysfunction and maternal death will be estimated. A proportion of cases identified in the cross-sectional study will comprise the cohort of women for the multidimensional analysis. Various aspects of the lives of women surviving severe maternal complications will be evaluated 3 and 6 months after the event and compared to a group of women who suffered no severe complications in pregnancy. Previously validated questionnaires will be used in the interviews to assess reproductive function, posttraumatic stress, functional capacity, quality of life, sexual function, postpartum depression and infant development. © 2009 Cecatti et al.

This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming approach to solving the problem of optimal type, size and allocation of distributed generators (DGs) in radial distribution systems. In the proposed formulation, (a) the steady-state operation of the radial distribution system, considering different load levels, is modeled through linear expressions; (b) different types of DGs are represented by their capability curves; (c) the short-circuit current capacity of the circuits is modeled through linear expressions; and (d) different topologies of the radial distribution system are considered. The objective function minimizes the annualized investment and operation costs. The use of a mixed-integer linear formulation guarantees convergence to optimality using existing optimization software. The results of one test system are presented in order to show the accuracy as well as the efficiency of the proposed solution technique.© 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this study, a novel approach for the optimal location and contract pricing of distributed generation (DG) is presented. Such an approach is designed for a market environment in which the distribution company (DisCo) can buy energy either from the wholesale energy market or from the DG units within its network. The location and contract pricing of DG is determined by the interaction between the DisCo and the owner of the distributed generators. The DisCo intends to minimise the payments incurred in meeting the expected demand, whereas the owner of the DG intends to maximise the profits obtained from the energy sold to the DisCo. This two-agent relationship is modelled in a bilevel scheme. The upper-level optimisation is for determining the allocation and contract prices of the DG units, whereas the lower-level optimisation is for modelling the reaction of the DisCo. The bilevel programming problem is turned into an equivalent single-level mixed-integer linear optimisation problem using duality properties, which is then solved using commercially available software. Results show the robustness and efficiency of the proposed model compared with other existing models. As regards to contract pricing, the proposed approach allowed to find better solutions than those reported in previous works. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2013.

In the network reconfiguration context, the challenge nowadays is to improve the system in order to get intelligent systems that are able to monitor the network and produce refined information to support the operator decisions in real time, this because the network is wide, ramified and in some places difficult to access. The objective of this paper is to present the first results of the network reconfiguration algorithm that has been developed to CEMIG-D. The algorithm's main idea is to provide a new network configuration, after an event (fault or study case), based on an initial condition and aiming to minimize the affected load, considering the restrictions of load flow equations, maximum capacity of the lines as well as equipments and substations, voltage limits and system radial operation. Initial tests were made considering real data from the system, provided by CEMIG-D and it reveals very promising results. © 2013 IEEE.

Esta tese de doutorado propõe uma formulação matemática para simulação de roteamento e alocação de comprimentos de onda em redes ópticas, sem a inclusão de restrições que não são inerentes ao problema básico e com o objetivo de ser aplicável a qualquer tipo de rede óptica com tráfego de demanda estática. O estabelecimento de uma rota seguida da seleção de um comprimento de onda é um dos pontos chave para o bom funcionamento de uma rede óptica, pois influencia na forma como os recursos da rede serão gerenciados. Assim, o processo de roteamento e alocação de comprimentos de onda em redes ópticas, conhecido como RWA (Routing and Wavelength Assignment), necessita de soluções que busquem a sua otimização. Entretanto, a despeito dos inúmeros estudos com o objetivo de otimizar o processo RWA, observa-se que não há, a priori, nenhuma solução que possa levar a uma padronização do referido processo. Considerando que a padronização é desejável na consolidação do uso de qualquer tecnologia, a Tese descrita neste trabalho é uma Função de Objetivo Genérico (FOG) que trata do processo de roteamento e alocação de comprimentos de onda, visando estabelecer uma base a partir da qual seja possível desenvolver um padrão ou vários padrões para redes ópticas. A FOG foi testada, via simulação, no processo de alocação de comprimentos de onda do inglês, Wavelength Assignment e no processo RWA como um todo. Em ambos os casos, os testes foram realizados considerando redes opacas, trazendo resultados surpreendentes, considerando a simplicidade da solução para um problema não trivial.

Os avanços nas tecnologias de comunicação sem fio, a demanda por novas aplicações multimídia em tempo real, com requisitos de Qualidade de Serviço (QoS) e Qualidade de Experiência (QoE), e a proliferação de equipamentos móveis, originam o surgimento de soluções que permitem mobilidades horizontais e verticais em redes heterogêneas, de modo transparente. Esses dispositivos móveis apresentam múltiplas interfaces sem fio, onde os usuários se conectam para realizar tarefas e serviços variados no seu dia a dia, mediante a tecnologia de redes diferentes, proporcionando um cenário heterogêneo com diversas oportunidades de conectividade para os usuários móveis. Visando solucionar o problema de várias conexões, feitas por usuários móveis, em uma mesma rede Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) e/ou WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) com diferentes serviços executados, porém, utilizando incorretamente a rede, esta dissertação propõe uma técnica hierárquica de decisão de mobilidade transparente, baseada em uma função de custo, no padrão IEEE 802.21 e no mapeamento de classes de serviço para garantir QoS/QoE para usuários em períodos de mobilidade chamada de MIH2Q, onde essa política informa a melhor rede para ser utilizada, de acordo com o serviço utilizado pelo usuário móvel. A avaliação do impacto e os benefícios da proposta são feitas através de simulação no NS-2 (Network Simulator - version 2) e no evalvid, utilizando métricas de QoS e QoE para verificação dos resultados.

Neste trabalho, são propostas metodologias para otimização do parâmetro de forma local c do método RPIM (Radial Point Interpolation Method). Com as técnicas apresentadas, é possível reduzir problemas com inversão de matrizes comuns em métodos sem malha e, também, garantir um maior grau de liberdade e precisão para a utilização da técnica, já que se torna possível uma definição semi-automática dos fatores de forma mais adequados para cada domínio de suporte. Além disso, é apresentado um algoritmo baseado no Line Sweep para a geração eficiente dos domínios de suporte.
