An Efficient Grid Service Discovery Mechanism Based on the Locality Principle

With the explosion of services in grid environment, it＇s necessary to develop a mechanism which has the ability of discovering suitable grid services efficiently. This paper attempts to establish a layered resource management model based on the locality principle which classifies services into different domains and virtual organizations （VOs） according to their shared purposes. We propose an ontologybased search method applying the ontology theory for characterizing semantic information. In addition, we extend the UD- D1 in querying, storing, and so on. Simulation experiments have shown that our mechanism achieves higher performance in precision, recall and query response time.

K-very Smooth Banach Spaces

We introduce the notion of K-very smoothness which is a generalization of very smoothness in Banach spaces. A necessary and sufficient condition for a Banach space to be K-very smooth is obtained. We also consider some relations between K-very smoothness and other geometrical notions.

New Approach to Deep Miniaturization: A Way to Overcoming Moore’s Law

The matter about some far-going consequences commencing from the replacement of one of the basic principles of the traditional physics that is the principle of locality, with the recently put forward principle of boundedness is considered. It is proven that the thermodynamic theory which is explicitly grounded on the principle of locality, suffers inherent contradiction which roots lay down to the principle of locality. The way to overcome it goes via the replacement of the principle of locality with the recently put forward by the author principle of boundedness. In turn, the latter gives rise not only to a fundamentally novel notion for a number of ideas but also it yields replacement of the proportionality between the software and hardware components with a new non-extensive approach to the matter. It is proven that the famous Moore’s law stands in new reading both in its support and the way to overcome its limitations. Apart from its role for the technical applications, the present considerations stand also as a methodological example how the role of the basics of any theory affects practical rules such as the Moore’s law.

Analysis of the discrete contact characteristics based on the Greenwood-Williamson model and the localization principle

The contact of a rigid body with nominally flat rough surface and an elastic half-space is considered.To solve the contact problem,the Greenwood-Williamson statistical model and the localization principle are used.The developed contact model allows us to investigate the surface approach and the real contact area with taking into account the asperities interaction.It is shown that the mutual influence of asperities changes not only contact characteristics at the macroscale,but also the contact pressure distribution at the microscale.As follows from the results,the inclusion in the contact model of the effect of the mutual influence of asperities is especially significant for studying the real contact area,as well as the contact characteristics at high applied loads.The results calculated according to the proposed approach are in a good agreement with the experimentally observed effects,i.e.,the real contact area saturation and the additional compliance exhaustion.

General Schemes of Iterative Optimization with Applications to Optimal Control Problems

A general(abstract)scheme of iterative improvement and optimization on the base of extension,localization principles which would help to generate new concrete methods and algorithms for new problems is proposed.Application to optimal control problems for continuous systems is considered.Visual example is given.

Computer Implementation of the Passage Arrangement for Plate-Fin Heat Exchangers According to Local Balance Principle

A two-step method for stacking arrangement of passages in multistream plate-fin heat exchanger is proposed. The first step (predict step) is to initialize the arrangement according to a local-balance principle, and the second step (correct step) is to resadust the arrangement according to the results of differential computation of the temperature distribution. The computer implementation process of the local balance principle is described in detail and three examples are illustrated to show the feasibility of this principle. A subroutine program is provided to facilitate the reader to adopt this principle.

Relativization of dynamical properties

In the past twenty years,great achievements have been made by many researchers in the studies of chaotic behavior and local entropy theory of dynamical systems.Most of the results have been generalized to the relative case in the sense of a given factor map.In this survey we offer an overview of these developments.
