Decentralized trigeneration (solar heating-cooling) for residential and commercial applications is being researched and adapted extensively. The transition from traditional uni-directional grids to bidirectional smart grids has motivated energy engineers to develop novel decentralized architectures that fully exploit distributed generation technologies. Solar heat and light stimulated trigeneration system is modeled, simulated, and analyzed over one year for subtropical climate conditions of Melbourne, Australia. The architecture replaces an electrical compressor of traditional chillers with solar heat stimulated absorption chiller. A residential building is scheduled as per standard living trends of a family of 5 individuals. The goal was to maintain livable thermal conditions (PID controlled: 26°C) and meet essential electronic needs at best. A detailed thermal and electrical performance analysis is documented using parameters such as solar fraction, collector thermal efficiency, fractional non-purchased energy, and others. The architecture was designed to meet all energy loads, thermal and electrical, with minimal auxiliary or grid energy expenditure. The analysis revealed that this unique combination of active and passive solar electro-thermal technologies has the potential to improve the overall performance and save considerable space for residential build environments. The solar photovoltaics produced power in the range 200 kW to 519 kW, active solar evacuated tube collectors produced hot water in the range 60-80°C, and passive solar thermal wall recorded storing heated air up to 70°C in summers and 40°C in winters. Heated water passed through solar heat stimulated absorption chillers to produce chilled air in range 17-19°C. An excess of 1500 watts on some summer days was recorded while no excess was available in peak winters. Solar fraction and fractional non-purchased energy showed slightly better performance than the same systems without a thermal wall

In recent years there have been many massive leaps in technology that have also resulted in large advancements in how we collect and use data. These advancements have caused a rise in the prominence of the field of Big Data. Organizations and businesses rely heavily on data analysis in almost every field of work. This need for data analysis combined with larger and more complex datasets has caused many challenges for these groups as they seek to keep up. Clustering is a field of data analysis, specifically unsupervised machine learning, that is heavily used in many different industries. Traditional clustering algorithms typically suffer in performance and accuracy as datasets increase in size and dimensionality. We previously proposed a new clustering algorithm called the Fast Density-grid clustering algorithm that successfully alleviated some of the problems related to runtimes. In modern data analysis however, serial algorithms are still too slow to be of much use. The Fast Density-grid algorithm was originally designed with parallelization in mind, and this paper discusses the steps taken to implement this. Our experimental results show that, when the number of records in the dataset exceed a certain amount, the parallel form of the algorithm overtakes the traditional in performance. Studying this critical point allows us to determine whether or not the algorithm is suitable for real world use.

This paper introduces DAta-centric Peer-to-peer filE Sharing (DAPES), a data sharing protocol for scenarios with intermittent connectivity and user mobility. DAPES provides a set of semantically meaningful hierarchical naming abstractions that facilitate the exchange of file collections via local connectivity. This enables peers to "make the most" out of the limited connection time with other peers by maximizing the utility of individual transmissions to provide data missing by most connected peers. DAPES runs on top of Named-Data Networking (NDN) and extends NDN's data-centric network layer abstractions to achieve communication over multiple wireless hops through an adaptive hop-by-hop forwarding/suppression mechanism. We have evaluated DAPES through real-world experiments in an outdoor campus setting and extensive simulations. Our results demonstrate that DAPES achieves 50-71% lower overheads and 15-33% lower file sharing delays compared to file sharing solutions that rely on IP-based mobile ad-hoc routing.

Load balancing of skewed data in MapReduce systems like Hadoop is a well-studied problem. Many heuristics already exist to improve the load balance of the reducers thereby reducing the overall execution time. In this paper, we propose a lightweight optimization approach for MapReduce systems to minimize the makespan for repetitive tasks involving a typical frequency distribution. Our idea is to analyze the observed frequency distribution for the given task so as to identify an optimal offset parameter c to add in the hash function to minimize makespan. For two different bucketing methods - modulo labeling and consecutive binning - we present efficient algorithms for finding the optimal value of c. Finally, we present simulation results for both bucketing methods. The results vary with the data distribution and the number of reducers, but generally reduce makespan by 20% on average for power-law distributions, Results are confirmed with experiments on well-known real-world data sets.
