Fault-tolerant systems with repair-upon-failure strategy can become expensive in terms of labour and time. Postponing non essential repairs can reduce these costs. Of course, while postponing these repairs, it is essential to keep the whole system capable to deal with user requests. For this purpose, usually, a threshold value is defined which represents the minimum number of servers the system administrator should keep operative. In this paper, analytical modelling of large scale multi-server systems, with identical servers, serving a stream of arriving jobs is considered. A hierarchical approach which uses Markov reward rates has been employed. Simulation results are also presented in order to confirm the accuracy of the analytical model.

Cost Reduction in High Power Computing Using a Deferred Repair Strategy: A Simulation Study Koçyiğit, Altan; Ever, Enver (2008-04-03) Fault-tolerant systems with repair-upon-failure strategy can become expensive in terms of labour and time. Especially for homogeneous multi-server systems, if no control hierarchy exists, postponing non essential repairs can reduce these costs without affecting the availability of the whole system significantly. Of course, while postponing these repairs, it is essential to keep the whole system capable to deal with user requests. For this purpose, usually, a threshold value is defined which represents the m...
Engineering Effort Estimation for Product Development Projects Yurt, Z. Ozturk; İyigün, Cem; Bakal, P. (2019-01-01) Cost estimation is an essential process for gaining competitive advantage in the bidding phase of every project. Besides, cost estimates are also vital for effective project control. For product development projects engineering hours is the main cost item and hence estimating engineering hours for potential product development projects is an important task.
Weighted k-Nearest Neighbor Adaptations to Spare Part Prediction Business Scenario at SAP System Esgin, Eren (SCITEPRESS; 2020-2-24) In the context of intelligent maintenance, spare part prediction business scenario seeks promising return-on-investment (ROI) by radically diminishing the hidden costs at after-sales customer services. However, the classification of class-imbalanced data with mixed type features at this business scenario is not straightforward. This paper proposes a hybrid classification model that combines C4.5, Apriori algorithms and weighted k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) adaptations to overcome potential shortcomings observed...
Analysis of order timing tradeoffs in multi-retailer supply systems Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Geunes, Joseph (2009-01-01) We analyse the implications of order timing decisions in multi-retailer supply systems in a single period, newsvendor setting. Specifically, we investigate a supply chain with multiple retailers and a single supplier where one of the retailers is considered a preferred or primary customer of the supplier. In the base model (delayed commitment), customers order after observing demand and the supplier rations its production quantity to retailers according to a generalised uniform allocation rule. In the early...
A new systematic and flexible method for developing hierarchical decision-making models BELDEK, ULAŞ; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2015-01-01) The common practice in multilevel decision-making (DM) systems is to achieve the final decision by going through a finite number of DM levels. In this study, a new multilevel DM model is proposed. This model is called the hierarchical DM (HDM) model and it is supposed to provide a flexible way of interaction and information flow between the consecutive levels that allows policy changes in DM procedures if necessary. In the model, in the early levels, there are primary agents that perform DM tasks. As the le...
