Trace-Driven Scaling of Microservice Applications
IEEE Access, 2023 The containerized microservices architecture is being increasingly used to build complex applications. To minimize operating costs, service providers typically rely on an auto-scaler to “right size” their infrastructure amid fluctuating ...

Experimental and Numerical Trimming Optimizations for a Mainsail in Upwind Conditions [PDF]
SNAME 22nd Chesapeake Sailing Yacht Symposium, 2016 This paper investigates the use of meta-models for optimizing sails trimming. A Gaussian process is used to robustly approximate the dependence of the performance with the trimming parameters to be optimized. The Gaussian process construction uses a limited number of performance observations at carefully selected trimming points, potentially enabling ...

On choosing an optimally trimmed mean
Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 1991 In this paper we revisit the problem of choosing an optimally trimmed mean. This problem was originally addressed by Jaeckel (1971). We propose alternatives to Jaeckel's estimator and its modifications discussed in Andrews et al. (1972). Jaeckel's procedure chooses the optimal trimming by minimizing an estimate of the asymptotic variance of the trimmed

Trim Optimizations of an Adaptive Tailless Aircraft with Composite Wing [PDF]
Advanced Materials Research, 2011 This paper investigates aeroelastic tailoring and optimal trailing edge control surface deflection to minimize induced drag for a HALE UAV flying wing configuration. The analysis process is conducted on the Finite Element(FE) model of a composite slender wing. Genetic Algorithm(GA) is employed to aeroelastically tailor the wing by setting the composite
