With the increasing demands for new data and real-time services, wireless networks should support calls with different traffic characteristics and different Quality of Service (QoS)guarantees. In addition, various wireless technologies and…
Demand-Side Management (DSM) is a vital tool that can be used to ensure power system reliability and stability. In future smart grids, certain portions of a customers load usage could be under automatic control with a cyber-enabled DSM…
In order to efficiently provide demand side management (DSM) in smart grid, carrying out pricing on the basis of real-time energy usage is considered to be the most vital tool because it is directly linked with the finances associated with…
In this paper, we study the pickup and delivery problem with multiple transportation modalities, and address the challenge of efficiently allocating transportation resources while price matching users with their desired delivery modes. More…
Shortest path queries over graphs are usually considered as isolated tasks, where the goal is to return the shortest path for each individual query. In practice, however, such queries are typically part of a system (e.g., a road network)…
Growth in leisure travel has become increasingly significant economically, socially, and environmentally. However, flexible but uncoordinated travel behaviors exacerbate traffic congestion. Mobile phone records not only reveal human…
Edge computing is a promising computing paradigm for pushing the cloud service to the network edge. To this end, edge infrastructure providers (EIPs) need to bring computation and storage resources to the network edge and allow edge service…
Traffic is essential for many dynamic processes on real networks, such as internet and urban traffic systems. The transport efficiency of the traffic system can be improved by taking full advantage of the resources in the system. In this…
Fixed Communication Provider (FCP) is a consortium of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) which users can switch easily and freely between their ISPs. In order to increase the QoS of the ISPs, we propose a two class service model as the…
With network slicing in 5G networks, Mobile Network Operators can create various slices for Service Providers (SPs) to accommodate customized services. Usually, the various Service Function Chains (SFCs) belonging to a slice are deployed on…
While there is ample evidence that social and communication networks play a key role during the spread of new ideas, products, or services, network effects are expected to have diminished influence in the stationary state, when all users…
Open-access domestic broadband connection sharing constitutes a voluntary practice that is associated with societal, economic and public-safety benefits. Despite this fact, broadband subscribers are usually hesitant to freely share their…
This study suggests a new strategy for improving congestion control by deploying Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. LSTMs are recurrent neural networks (RNN), that excel at capturing temporal relationships and patterns in data.…
Weaknesses in several recently proposed ideas about congestion control and avoidance in high-speed netwroks are identified. Both sides of the debate concerning prior reservation of resources versus walk-in service, open-loop control versus…
Stochastic service systems describe situations in which customers compete for service from scarce resources. Think of check-in lines at airports, waiting rooms in hospitals or queues in supermarkets, where the scarce resource is human…
The ever-growing end user data demands, and the simultaneous reductions in memory costs are fueling edge-caching deployments. Caching at the edge is substantially different from that at the core and needs to take into account the nature of…
The introduction of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) helped reduce the consumption of resource in video delivery, but its client-based rate adaptation is unable to optimally use the available end-to-end network bandwidth. We…
Edge computing is promoted to meet increasing performance needs of data-driven services using computational and storage resources close to the end devices, at the edge of the current network. To achieve higher performance in this new…
Demand dispatch is the science of extracting virtual energy storage through the automatic control of deferrable loads to provide balancing or regulation services to the grid, while maintaining consumer-end quality of service (QoS). The…
The advances in information and communication technology are changing theway people move. Companies that offer demand-responsive transportation serviceshave the opportunity to reduce their costs and increase their revenues…
