OTIS-based architectures appear to have the potential to be an interesting option for future generations of multiprocessing systems. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive unicast routing algorithm and four software-based (unicast-based) broadcast algorithms for the wormhole switched OTI S-hypercube. We then present an empirical performance evaluation of these algorithms in OTIS-hypercube for different topologies, message length and traffic loads. © 2008 IEEE  

Trying to find the most efficient and cost-effective decisions on the maintenance of different component types in power distribution systems is an increasingly challenging concern largely driven by the current financial constraints in distribution utilities worldwide. In regard to deal with this challenge, the paper presents a practical application of the Delphi method and the Modified Analytical Hierarchical Process (MAHP) that can be used to find the most critical component types of the system in order to assist in accordingly allocating the available maintenance budget. The proposed approach involves the experience and knowledge held by experts and the historical empirical performance... 

Stretched hypercube has recently been introduced as an attractive alternative to the well-known hypercube. Previous research on this network topology has mainly focused on topological properties and VLSI aspects of this network In this paper, we propose some deterministic and adaptive routing algorithms for the stretched hypercubes. The performance of stretched hypercubes using the proposed routing algorithms is then evaluated by means of simulation experiments. Experiments are reahzed under different working loads and for different network actors. © 2008 IEEE
