Load balancing method of service cluster based on mean-variance by Xiaoan BAO, Xue WEI, Lei CHEN, Guoheng HU, Na ZHANG

“…When a large number of concurrent requests are allocated,the load scheduling mechanism is to achieve the load balancing of nodes in the network by minimizing the response time and maximizing the utilization ratio of nodes.In the load balancing algorithm based on genetic algorithm,the fitness function is designed to have an important influence on the load balancing efficiency.A service cluster load balancing method based on mean-variance was proposed to optimize the fitness function.The investment portfolio selection model mean-variance was used to minimize the response time,which was used to get the weight of each server's resource utilization,so as to obtain the optimal allocation combination.This method improves the accuracy and efficiency of the fitness function.Compared with other models in different service environment,the simulation results show that the load balancing algorithm makes the service cluster get a better balance performance in terms of node utilization and response time.…”

SOCIOLOGICAL MONITORING AS A TOOL FOR SOCIAL TENSION MEASUREMENT IN THE REGIONS MOST ATTRACTIVE FOR MIGRANTS by A. Maksimova, A. Milekhin

“…The main determinants of social tension in the most attractive regions for migration are considered. It is noted that social tension is determined not only by ethnic and ethno-cultural characteristics of migrants, not typical for the population of the receiving community, but also by the contradictions between the economic interests of the local population and the economic interests of migrants.…”
