An approach to the optimal design of pipe networks is presented and applied to a case study. The sequential unconstrained minimization technique to solve the optimal design of network is applied for pipe network optimization and the Newton-Raphson method for the hydraulic analysis of the network. Water distribution system design satisfying all constraints including pipe diameter and nodal pressure is performed. The performance of the proposed approach is tested on an existing network. The case study is for El-Mostakbal City network, an extension to an existing distribution network of Ismailia City, Egypt. The application of the method on the network shows its capability to solve such actual optimization problems.

The increasing potential to combine devices with different capabilities and purposes leads to new security issues. Traditional security prescribes what has to be prohibited and is thus too inflexible to cope with a constantly changing context. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach to formulating security policies in UbiComp based on the notion of commandments. In essence, commandments formulate situations that should occur within an indefinite time span, thus being conceptually similar to, albeit qualitative ...

With the prevalence of mobile devices that are equipped with wireless Internet capabilities and Global Positioning System (GPS) functionality, the creation and access of user-generated content are extended to users on the go. Such content are tied to real world objects, in the form of geospatial annotations, and it is only natural that these annotations are visualized using a map-based approach. However, viewing maps that are filled with annotations could hinder the serendipitous discovery of data, especially on the small ...
