Water Environment Research, 2008
A review of the literature published in 2009 on topics relating to decentralized water systems. Decentralized systems are designed with less than fully centralized collection and treatment for various benefits. Although these systems serve diverse needs, they have common characteristics, such as remote monitoring, control, and quality verification ...

Fault tolerance in decentralized systems
Proceedings. Fourth International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems. - Integration of Heterogeneous Systems -, 2003In a decentralised system the problems of fault tolerance, and in particular error recovery, vary greatly depending on the design assumptions. For example, in a distributed database system, if one disregards the possibility of undetected invalid inputs or outputs, the errors that have to be recovered from will just affect the database, and backward ...

Decentralized Authorization In A Database System
Fifth International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, 1979., 1979Decentralization of the security functions of the database administrator is needed in large or complex databases for efficiency and simplicity, independently of whether the database itself is centralized or is distributed through-out a network. In this paper, a model of authorization for decentralized administration is developed.

Resource management in a decentralized system
ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review, 1983The heterogeneous collection of machines constituting the Processor Bank at Cambridge represents an important set of resources which must be managed. The Resource Manager incorporates these machines into a wider view of resources in a network.

Decentralization in Croatia's Health System
2012Authors are presenting and discussing the last phase of health system decentralization (2000 - 2010) in Croatia. Alhough being proud on the "Healthy Counties" project achievement they recognize that the gap between the best and the worst performing counties is widening. Counties with the more commitment and ability to apply their acquired knowledge are

Decentralized control of hybrid systems
Proceedings 5th International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems, 2002The key issue of a multi agent system is the decentralized control and optimization of a given global system which is normally of large scale. In this connection features like stability, controllability, and observability are important aspects. The paper deals with control structures of decentralized agent driven hybrid systems.

Is decentralization sustainable in the bitcoin system?
Decision Support Systems, 2019The Bitcoin system is a decentralized monetary system in that any participant can potentially verify and record transactions onto a public ledger. Using a simple model, we show that the number of miners could be negatively (positively) related to the expected rewards, if miners with low-operating costs face less (more) severe financing constraints.

Decentralization and the Nationalization of Party Systems
Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy, 2010On the basis of a sample of 227 elections in seventeen Western European countries over the period 1945–98, we examine to what extent party systems are shaped by fiscal and political decentralization. With the exception of a few special cases, empirical evidence does not support the existence of a robust relationship between the degree of ...

A decentralized energy management system
2015 European Control Conference (ECC), 2015The primary goal of an energy management system (EMS) in power networks is to balance the supply and demand in a cost efficient manner given its operating horizon, and uncertainties in generation due to renewable generators and in demand. This goal is formulated as the economic dispatch problem.
