This book presents novel and efficient tools, techniques and approaches for reliability evaluation, reliability analysis, and design of reliable communication networks using graph theoretic concepts. In recent years, human beings have become largely dependent on communication networks, such as computer communication networks, telecommunication networks, mobile switching networks etc., for their day-to-day activities. In today's world, humans and critical machines depend on these communication networks to work properly. Failure of these communication networks can result in situations where people may find themselves isolated, helpless and exposed to hazards. It is a fact that every component or system can fail and its failure probability increases with size and complexity. The main objective of this book is to devize approaches for reliability modeling and evaluation of such complex networks. Such evaluation helps to understand which network can give us better reliability by their design. New designs of fault-tolerant interconnection network layouts are proposed, which are capable of providing high reliability through path redundancy and fault tolerance through reduction of common elements in paths. This book covers the reliability evaluation of various network topologies considering multiple reliability performance parameters (two terminal reliability, broadcast reliability, all terminal reliability, and multiple sources to multiple destinations reliability).

This story is about an extraordinary journey of an ordinary Indian Immigrant to the UK. He grew up in a middle-class Indian family, had troubled childhood, struggling working life, and failed relationships. Despite all personal and professional setbacks, his desperation to keep moving forward in life, hunger for success and persistent hard work takes him to the level of success that most people can only dream to achieve. It's an amazing story of hope, courage, perseverance and how an ordinary middle-class Indian boy builds a bridge between his dreams and reality, to become one of the richest tycoons in England.
Defining a new development life-cycle methodology, together with a set of associated techniques and tools to develop highly critical systems using formal techniques, this book adopts a rigorous safety assessment approach explored via several layers (from requirements analysis to automatic source code generation). This is assessed and evaluated via a standard case study: the cardiac pacemaker. Additionally a formalisation of an Electrocardiogram (ECG) is used to identify anomalies in order to improve existing medical protocols. This allows the key issue - that formal methods are not currently integrated into established critical systems development processes - to be discussed in a highly effective and informative way.Using Event-B for Critical Device Software Systems serves as a valuable resource for researchers and students of formal methods. The assessment of critical systems development is applicable to all industries, but engineers and physicians from the health domain will find the cardiac pacemaker case study of particular value.

Dr. Goswamy is a board certified physician, author/lecturer, certified master fitness trainer, and weight loss expert. He designed a protocol for rapid weight loss using established medical science, independent research, and his own personal experience. This protocol helped him lose 81 pounds in 7 1/2 months and gain 13 pounds of muscle in 2 weeks. It also got him a clean bill of health.
Explore a complex mechanical system where electronics and mechanical engineers work together as a cross-functional team. Using a working example, this book is a practical “how to” guide to designing a drone system.As system design becomes more and more complicated, systematic, and organized, there is an increasingly large gap in how system design happens in the industry versus what is taught in academia. While the system design basics and fundamentals mostly remain the same, the process, flow, considerations, and tools applied in industry are far different than that in academia. Designing Drone Systems takes you through the entire flow from system conception to design to production, bridging the knowledge gap between academia and the industry as you build your own drone systems.What You’ll LearnGain a high level understanding of drone systemsDesign a drone systems and elaborating the various aspects and considerations of designReview the principles of the industrial system design process/flow, and the guidelines for drone systemsLook at the challenges, limitations, best practices, and patterns of system designWho This Book Is ForPrimarily for beginning or aspiring system design experts, recent graduates, and system design engineers. Teachers, trainers, and system design mentors can also benefit from this content.
It's a story about ordinary people who get together and do something extraordinary, Life hadn't treated them well, but they decide to take life in their own hands and not only do they manage to change their own lives, they take every common person in the world with them. They create a business model, which changed life of millions and in process they are offered billions, the big question in front of them was what was important? Billions of pounds or billions of people Veer Ajmera, a sales manager for an Insurance broking firm in one square mile, London meets Heidi Truman, an American freelance research journalist, who is part of the panel which independently adjudges the awardees for Insurance industry, where he is one of the nominees. She finds Veer the man she always had looked for and thought didn't exist. He finds her much more than what he had imagined his dream woman to be. After couple of meetings with him, she decides to back out of her wedding with a senior journalist Dirk, who she lives with in USA. While he is waiting one day at a station for Heidi, he comes across a homeless person Pukhraj Thapar, who was his biggest client in the past but had lost everything and had disappeared. Dirk is enraged because he loves Heidi even though she never did, and had helped her financially and somehow convinced her to marry him, but when she walks out of the relation, he makes it difficult to even go back and work in USA. Veer, while looking at news of Egypt, London riots, and Arab unrest combined with what Cheryl said. comes up with a unique business idea around creating a social networking site around the issues in the world which could connect people, where a local issue could have global audience, where people could express their opinion on things that matter. A platform where world could come together for a reason, unrest could be taken from streets and pressure could be increased by a global support to a cause. Unique point in his model was that unlike other sites, he had thought about immediate revenue stream for the site. He shared the idea with Pukhraj and Heidi, who got very excited by it, they also decide to get Jonathan, Cheryl and Pukhraj's ex Secretary Jackie, who had worked in city for 15 years in similar roles and was looking for a change as she was bored to death. All 6 of them meet up, discuss the idea and agree to work together on the project. Pukhraj comes up with a unique idea of raising the initial capital through micro financing unit model. The idea is to get it to a stage where it becomes attractive enough for big player to buy them off in 3 years' time. They decide to call the site GSM - Global Social Mission. They are able to raise some money and partner with an Indian IT company to get the site live and also partner with a small, but capable marketing company, which helps them to launch the site with very successful events in Goa, London, and New york. The site starts becoming very popular and in a year, they manage to make it a concept, which even governments can't ignore. Two major super powers decide to use this platform to reach out to people worldwide by helping them, instead of just aiding governments of developing countries in order to use their influence worldwide. Pukhraj also adds another dimension to the site. He realised that most of the issues are due to unemployment, lack of opportunity and corporate monopoly. He launches a global co-operative model, using micro finance model for initial capital, to set small units of unemployed literates coming together to start their own enterprise and also includes support of corporate world and government to it The site gains ground and crosses 200 million users. And finally the day comes when they are offered 6 billion for their exit. Would they exit?
