Load balancing plays a crucial role in ensuring the stable operation of information management systems during periods of high user access requests; therefore, load balancing approaches should be reasonably selected. Moreover, appropriate load balancing techniques could also result in an appropriate allocation of system resources, improved system service, and economic benefits. Nginx is one of the most widely used loadbalancing software packages, and its deployment is representative of load-balancing application research. This study introduces Nginx into an educational administration system, builds a server cluster, and compares and sets the optimal cluster working strategy based on the characteristics of the system, Furthermore, it increases the stability of the system when user access is highly concurrent and uses the Nginx reverse proxy service function to improve the cluster's ability to resist illegal attacks. Finally, through concurrent access verification, the system cluster construction becomes stable and reliable, which significantly improves the performance of the information system service. This research could inform the selection and application of load-balancing software in information system services.

Performance enhancement is one of the most important issues in high performance distributed computing systems. In such computing systems, online users submit their jobs anytime and anywhere to a set of dynamic resources. Jobs arrival and processes execution times are stochastic. The performance of a distributed computing system can be improved by using an effective load balancing strategy to redistribute the user tasks among computing resources for efficient utilization. This paper presents a multi-class load balancing strategy that balances different classes of user tasks on multiple heterogeneous computing nodes to minimize the per-class mean response time. For a wide range of system parameters, the performance of the proposed multi-class load balancing strategy is compared with that of the random distribution load balancing, and uniform distribution load balancing strategies using simulation. The results show that, the proposed strategy outperforms the other two studied strategies in terms of average task response time, and average computing nodes utilization.

In this paper, adaptive channel borrowing approach fuzzy neural networks for load balancing (ACB-FNN) is presented to maximized the number of served calls and the depending on asymmetries traffic load problem. In a wireless network, the call's arrival rate, the call duration and the communication overhead between the base station and the mobile switch center are vague and uncertain. A new load balancing algorithm with cell involved negotiation is also presented in this paper. The ACB-FNN exhibits better learning abilities, optimization abilities, robustness, and fault-tolerant capability thus yielding better performance compared with other algorithms. It aims to efficiently satisfy their diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. The results show that our algorithm has lower blocking rate, lower dropping rate, less update overhead, and shorter channel acquisition delay than previous methods.

최근 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) 기술은 사물에 대한 자동적인 인식을 가능케 함으로써 물류, 의료, 식품관리 등과 같은 분야에 적용되고 있다. 부하 분산은 과부하 상태인 노드로부터 부하가 적은 노드로 작업 부하를 이동시켜 시스템의 확장성을 향상시키는 기본 기술이다. 시스템의 부하를 예측하기 어렵고 부하량의 편차가 큰 경우에는 적응적 부하 분산이 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. RFID 미들웨어는 많은 수의 리더로부터 수신된 태그 정보를 효율적으로 처리하기 위하여 기존의 부하 분산기술이 도입될 필요가 있다. RFID 시스템이 부하량을 예측하기 힘들고 편차가 큰 환경에 적용될 경우 실행시간에 시스템의 전체 부하량에 따라 적합한 정책으로 변경할 수 있는 적응적 부하 분산 기법을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 RFID 미들웨어에 적응적 부하 분산 기법을 도입하기 위한 접근 방법과 결과를 제시한다. 먼저 RFID 미들웨어의 작업 부하 모델을 결정한다. 그리고 부하 모델을 바탕으로 다양한 부하 분산 정책을 시스템의 부하 상태 별로 적용하여 시스템의 부하 상태에 적합한 부하 분산 정책을 선택한다.

네트워크 장비의 하드웨어 영역과 소프트웨어 영역을 분리하고 오픈소스 기반의 소프트웨어를 사용하여 네트워크를 정의하는 차세대 네트워크 기술인 SDN의 등장으로 기존 네트워크 체계가 가지고 있던 복잡성과 확장성의 문제를 해결하고 저비용으로 사용자의 환경과 요구조건에 맞춤형 네트워크 구성이 가능해졌다. 하지만, 컨트롤러와 스위치 간에 발생하는 많은 제어 통신으로 인한 네트워크의 부하가 발생할 수 있다는 구조적 단점을 가지고 있어 이를 효과적으로 해결하기 위한 네트워크 부하분산에 대한 많은 연구가 선행되었다. 특히 플로우 테이블과 관련된 부하분산 기법의 기존 연구에서는 플로우 엔트리에 대한 고려 없이 진행된 연구가 많아서 플로우 수가 많아지게 되면 패킷 처리속도가 떨어져 오히려 부하를 가중시키는 결과를 가져오기도 했는데, 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 실시간으로 플로우를 모니터링하고 동적 플로우 관리 기법을 적용하여 플로우 수를 적정 수준으로 조절하면서도 높은 패킷 처리속도를 유지할 수 있는 새로운 네트워크 부하분산 기법을 제안한다.

This paper describes a scheduling problem of the panel block assembly shop in a shipbuilding industry. Because the shipbuilding is a labor intensive industry the most important consideration in a panel block assembly shop is the workload balancing. which balances man-hour weight and welding length and so on. It should be determined assembly schedule and workstation considering a daily load balancing and a workstation load balancing simultaneously. To solve the problem we develop a hybrid genetic algorithm. Hybrid genetic algorithm proposed in this paper consists of two phases. The first phase uses the heuristic method to find a initial feasible solution which provides a useful information about optimal solution. The second phase proposes the genetic algorithm to derive the optimal solution with the initial population consisting of feasible solutions based on the initial solution. Finally we carried out computational experiments for this load balancing problem which indicate that developed method is effective for finding good solutions.

In the survivability and simplicity aspect, SONET Self-healing Ring(SHR) is one of the most important schemes for the high-speed telecommunication networks. Since the ring capacity requirement is defined by the largest STS-1 cross-section in the ring, load balancing is the key issue in the design of SONET SHR. Recently, most of the research on load balancing problem have been concentrated on the SONET single-ring case. However, in certain applications, multiple-ring configuration is necessary because of the geographical limitations or the need for extra bandwidth. In this paper, the load balancing problem for SONET dual-ring is considered by assuming symmetric inter-ring demands. We present a linear programming based formulation of the problem. Initial solution and improvement procedures are presented, which solves the routing and interconnection between the two rings for each demand. Computational experiments are performed on various size of networks with randomly generated demand sets. Results show that the proposed algorithm is excellent in both the solution quality and the computational time requirement. The average error bound of the solutions obtained is 0.26% of the optimum.

In a P2P (Peer-to-Peer) VoD (video-on-Demand) streaming system, the nodes' load is an important factor which affects the system performance. In the system, some nodes may receive too many requests, which leads to overload. On the other hand, some other nodes may receive too few requests, which leads to low utilization. Therefore, designing a reasonable load balancing strategy is important. However, existing related studies cannot handle this problem effectively, because they don't have an efficient dynamic load information management mechanism, and they don't distinguish the difference of requests when transfer the nodes' load. In this paper, to manage the dynamic load information efficiently, we design a load management table for each node. Based on the load information, we propose a load balancing strategy which uses a request migration algorithm (LBRM). Through simulations, our scheme can handle the load imbalance problem effectively and improve the users' playback fluency.

High-volume web sites often use clusters of servers with load balancing as a way to increase the performance, scalability, and availability of the sites. Load balancing, usually performed by load balancer in front of such clusters, is a technique to spread workload between several computers or resources, in order to get optimal resource utilization or response time. In this paper we examine the performance for several configurations of cluster-based web servers using a simulation approach. We investigate two types of buffering scheme (common and local) for web clusters and three load balancing policies (uniformly random, round robin, and least queue first), using response time as a performance measure. We also examine two basic approaches of scaling web clusters: adding more servers of same type or upgrading the capacity of the servers in the clusters.
