Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly changing the way in which we engage with
technology on a daily basis. The IoT paradigm enables low-resource devices to …

Load-sharing systems have several practical applications. In load-sharing systems, the
event of a component failure will result in a higher load, therefore inducing a higher failure …

In this paper, we develop a generic physics-informed neural network (PINN)-based
framework to assess the reliability of multi-state systems (MSSs). The proposed framework …

Cloud computing is a recently developed new technology for complex systems with
massivescale service sharing, which is different from the resource sharing of the grid …

Modern, complex software systems (e-commerce, IT, critical infrastructures, etc.) are
increasingly required to continue operation in the face of change, to self-adapt to …

With the growing popularity of mobile edge computing (MEC), a number of data-intensive
applications have been deployed. Quality of Service (QoS), as one of the most important …

A simulation-based optimization (SBO) method is proposed to handle multi-objective joint
availability-redundancy allocation problem (JARAP). Here, there is no emphasis on …

Composite variable-stiffness (VS) panels with curvilinear fiber paths are very promising for
aerospace structures. Due to the inherent complexity of VS laminates, buckling analysis and …

Cloud computing is a new emerging technology aimed at large-scale resource sharing and
service-oriented computing. To achieve the efficient use of cloud resources for supporting a …

Cloud computing can raise ethical issues. In many cases these will depend on particular
applications and circumstances. The present paper sets out to identify ethical issues of cloud …
