Fluid-particle and granular flows exhibit rather complex behavior, for example, the occurrence of bubbles and clusters in gas-particle flows, and clogging and size segregation in granular flows. This work is to advance our understanding of granular and gas particle flows using computational simulations. In gas-particle fluidized beds, confined between parallel solid walls, non-uniform solids distribution is observed and the flow profiles are strongly related to the physical and operating parameters, such as particle inelasticity, gravity, bed width and mean solids fraction. A stability...

Datacenter Power Management in Smart Grids overviews recent work on managing and minimizing the cost of data centers in the context of smart grids. It starts by reviewing the operation of smart grids and analyzing how power is consumed in datacenters. Then, it presents various cost minimization approaches using techniques from the fields of optimization, algorithmics, and feedback control. In particular, it focuses on approaches that utilize time-of-use pricing and demand response features to cut the datacenter electricity cost. In a cloud computing environment, companies or individuals...

Real-time embedded systems are widely deployed in mission-critical applications, such as avionics mission computing, highway traffic control, remote patient monitoring, wireless communications, navigation, etc. These applications always require their real-time and embedded components to work in open and unpredictable environments, where workload is volatile and unknown. In order to guarantee the temporal correctness and avoid severe underutilization or overload, it is of vital significance to measure, control, and optimize the processor utilization adaptively. This monograph examines...
