The vitality and utility of a network are affected significantly by the network management system (NMS) that is used to administer and monitor the network. However, models that can characterize the ...quality of a NMS are generally missing in the literature. In this paper, we introduce the concept of quality of monitoring (QoM), provide a mathematical formulation based on stochastic processes that can be used to model a network monitoring system and define QoM metrics based on this formulation. A formal analysis of the proposed framework along various metrics is also provided, along with a case study of its application to network monitoring in a mobile ad hoc network. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
This paper describes the safety and environmental management system, policies and measures adopted for petroleum oil field development project which the author was involved as Head of Health, Safety ...and Environment (HS & E). As safety and environmental awareness has been commonly spread in the industry, project owners are requested to execute the project in a safe and environmentally responsible manner, whichever country the project is planned. As a responsible operator of the Rang Dong oil field, Japan Vietnam Petroleum Co., Ltd. implemented a series of safety and environmental measures based on the safety and environmental management system developed for the management of various hazards arising in the course of the project. The adopted safety and environmental management system is an ISO 14001 like modern management system incorporating the PDCA cycle. Hazard management model was used to mitigate and justify the various operating hazards while attempting to minimize the project expenditures. Various. examples are provided to allow the readers to imagine and understand how these hazards have been properly addressed.
