A deadlock occurs in a network when two or more items prevent each other from moving and are stalled. In a general model, items are stored at vertices and each vertex $v$ has a buffer with $b(v)$ slots. Given a route for each item toward…

This paper addresses the air traffic flow management research problem of determining reroute, ground delay and air delay for flights using stochastic weather forecast information. The overall goal is to minimize system-wide reroute and…

Large-scale controlled evacuations require emergency services to select evacuation routes, decide departure times, and mobilize resources to issue orders, all under strict time constraints. Existing algorithms almost always allow for…

The presented study elaborates a multi-server catastrophic retrial queueing model considering preemptive repeat priority policy with phase-type (PH) distributed retrial times. For the sake of comprehension, the scenario of model operation…

Deficit Round-Robin (DRR) is a widespread scheduling algorithm that provides fair queueing with variable-length packets. Bounds on worst-case delays for DRR were found by Boyer et al., who used a rigorous network calculus approach and…

Stochastic Model Predictive Control addresses uncertainties by incorporating chance constraints that provide probabilistic guarantees of constraint satisfaction. However, simultaneously optimizing over the risk allocation and the feedback…

In this paper, we study joint queue-aware and channel-aware scheduling of arbitrarily bursty traffic over multi-state time-varying channels, where the bursty packet arrival in the network layer, the backlogged queue in the data link layer,…

We introduce a novel family of mechanisms for constrained allocation problems which we call local priority mechanisms. These mechanisms are parameterized by a function which assigns a set of agents, the local compromisers, to every…

LLM-enabled robots prioritizing scarce assistance in social settings face pluralistic values and LLM behavioral variability: reasonable people can disagree about who is helped first, while LLM-mediated interaction policies vary across…

CPU scheduling is the reason behind the performance of multiprocessing and in time-shared operating systems. Different scheduling criteria are used to evaluate Central Processing Unit Scheduling algorithms which are based on different…

A new method for stochastic control based on neural networks and using randomisation of discrete random variables is proposed and applied to optimal stopping time problems. The method models directly the policy and does not need the…

Saving lives or economy is a dilemma for epidemic control in most cities while smart-tracing technology raises people's privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose a solution for the life-or-economy dilemma that does not require private…

We consider the problem where an agent wants to find a hidden object that is randomly located in some vertex of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) according to a fixed but possibly unknown distribution. The agent can only examine vertices whose…

In this article, we discuss two algorithms tailored to discrete-time deterministic finite-horizon nonlinear optimal control problems or so-called deterministic trajectory optimization problems. Both algorithms can be derived from an…

Model-free algorithms are brought into the control system's research with the emergence of reinforcement learning algorithms. However, there are two practical challenges of reinforcement learning-based methods. First, learning by…

We introduce a heuristic scheduling algorithm for real-time adaptive traffic signal control to reduce traffic congestion. This algorithm adopts a lane-based model that estimates the arrival time of all vehicles approaching an intersection…

Dynamic scheduling of task graphs is often addressed without revisiting prior task allocations, with a primary focus on minimizing makespan. We study controlled schedule preemption, introducing the Last-K Preemption model, which selectively…

While many graph drawing algorithms consider nodes as points, graph visualization tools often represent them as shapes. These shapes support the display of information such as labels or encode various data with size or color. However, they…

This paper studies a 2-class, 2-server parallel server system under the recently introduced extended heavy traffic condition, which states that the underlying 'static allocation' linear program (LP) is critical, but does not require that it…

In this paper, we aim to extend the traditional point-mass-like robot representation in swarm robotics and instead study a swarm of long Heavy Articulated Vehicles (HAVs). HAVs are kinematically constrained, elongated, and articulated,…
