Reduction of Maximum and Residual Drifts on Posttensioned Steel Frames with Semirigid Connections by Arturo López-Barraza, Edén Bojórquez, Sonia E. Ruiz, Alfredo Reyes-Salazar

“…The aim of this paper is to study the seismic performance of self-centering moment-resisting steel frames with posttensioned connections taking into account nonlinear material behavior, for better understanding of the advantages of this type of structural system. Further, the seismic performance of traditional structures with rigid connections is compared with the corresponding equivalent posttensioned structures with semirigid connections. …”

Task scheduling algorithm for distributed environment based on signal-driven by Yu XIN, Jing YANG, Zhi-qiang XIE

“…In order to optimize the performance of user services in IaaS,the task scheduling algorithm for IaaS based on signal-driven is proposed,by which CS(control subsystem) and NS(inquiry nodes subsystem) based on the structural characteristics of the IaaS is established,and the DAG scheduling model based on the structural characteristics of the inquiry task is created.Then the conversion mechanism for the task partitions is created,constructing the signal communication mechanism for CS and NS,changing the status of the task partitions by signal-driven between the CS and NS,completing the task partitions allocation by POSS (parallel optimization selective strategy) in the scheduling time.This algorithm with low complexity is compatible with the distributed architecture of IaaS,because of utilizing dual system control mode.The effectiveness and practicality of this algorithm is verified by experiment.…”
