Abstract

Many schools in Village Sectors do not have good Educational Infrastructure and Skillful Teachers. This leads to a poor Quality Education in Villages. On the other hand, Schools in Urban Sectors have very good Educational Infrastructure and well Skilled Teachers, hence provides Quality Education. Educational contents from the Urban Sector schools can be recorded in digital media such as Classroom Lectures, Digital Notes and Digital Books. Then this material can be delivered to the Urban Sector Schools in free of cost to provide Quality Education. The main problem with this idea is that there is no good Network Infrastructure in Village Regions to transfer Digital Educational Contents in a cost effective way. Deploying new Network Infrastructure for this purpose will be very costly. To resolve this problem we have proposed Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network technique in this paper to provide Communication among Urban and Village Schools using Existing BUS Transportation System. DTN uses bundle protocol where challenged networking environments exhibits. This research aims to investigate the Efficiency of the DTN Network Architecture in educational content delivery using various Simulation Models.

Abstract

Load balancing is to improve system performance of a parallel and distributed system through a redistribution of load among the processors [1] [6]. Two typical load balancing algorithms are static and dynamic. The Static Load Balancing algorithms (SLB) take decisions regarding assignment of processes to processors based on the average estimated values of process execution times and communication delays at compile time. Dynamic Load Balancing algorithms (DLB) are adaptive to changing situations and take decisions at run time. The analysis includes the advancements and weaknesses over each other. The objective of this paper is firstly, to design a new dynamic load balancing algorithm (Periodically Exchange) and secondly, to compare various SLB and DLB algorithms. The main purpose of this paper is to help in design of new load balancing algorithms in future by studying the behavior of various existing algorithms.

Keywords

Distributed Systems, DLB, Periodically Exchange, Receiver Queue, Sender Queue, SLB.
