This paper presents a stochastic, model predictive control (MPC) algorithm that leverages short-term probabilistic forecasts for dispatching and rebalancing Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand systems (AMoD, i.e. fleets of self-driving vehicles).…
At modern warehouses, mobile robots transport packages and drop them into collection bins/chutes based on shipping destinations grouped by, e.g., the ZIP code. System throughput, measured as the number of packages sorted per unit of time,…
With the rapid development of the logistics industry, the path planning of logistics vehicles has become increasingly complex, requiring consideration of multiple constraints such as time windows, task sequencing, and motion smoothness.…
In Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), Internet of Things (IoT) devices offload computationally-intensive tasks to edge nodes, where they are executed within containers, reducing the reliance on centralized cloud infrastructure. Frequent upgrades…
Rapid identification of hazardous events is essential for next-generation Earth Observation (EO) missions supporting disaster response. However, current monitoring pipelines remain largely ground-centric, introducing latency due to downlink…
We consider a single-hop wireless network with sources transmitting time-sensitive information to the destination over multiple unreliable channels. Packets from each source are generated according to a stochastic process with known…
We introduce two new optimization models for the dispatch of ambulances. The first model, called the ambulance selection problem, is used when an emergency call arrives to decide whether an ambulance should be dispatched for that call, and…
Autonomous Mobility On Demand (MOD) systems can utilize fleet management strategies in order to provide a high customer quality of service (QoS). Previous works on autonomous MOD systems have developed methods for rebalancing single…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of a last-mile delivery service that selects up to $N$ available vehicles to deliver $M$ packages from a centralized depot to $M$ delivery locations. The objective of the last-mile delivery service…
The recent past has witnessed a notable surge in on-demand food delivery (OFD) services, offering delivery fulfillment within dozens of minutes after an order is placed. In OFD, pooling multiple orders for simultaneous delivery in real-time…
We consider a simple computation offloading model where jobs can either be fully processed in the cloud or be partially processed at a local server before being sent to the cloud to complete processing. Our goal is to design a policy for…
In this paper, we focus on energy-efficient UAV-based IoT data collection in sensor networks in which the sensed data have different time deadlines. In the investigated setting, the sensors are clustered and managed by cluster heads (CHs),…
With the rapid advancement of next-generation satellite networks, addressing clustering tasks, user grouping, and efficient link management has become increasingly critical to optimize network performance and reduce interference. In this…
Speed and cost of logistics are two major concerns to on-line shoppers, but they generally conflict with each other in nature. To alleviate the contradiction, we propose to exploit existing taxis that are transporting passengers on the…
One of the most relevant challenges regarding on-demand ridepooling relates to the spatial imbalances of the demand, which induce a mismatch between the position of the vehicles and the origins of the emerging requests. Most ridepooling…
This paper presents a parallel adaptive clustering (PAC) algorithm to automatically classify data while simultaneously choosing a suitable number of classes. Clustering is an important tool for data analysis and understanding in a broad set…
Many of the observations we make are biased by our decisions. For instance, the demand of items is impacted by the prices set, and online checkout choices are influenced by the assortments presented. The challenge in decision-making under…
This paper presents an approach integrating explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques with adaptive learning to enhance energy consumption prediction models, with a focus on handling data distribution shifts. Leveraging SHAP…
Many clustering schemes have been proposed for ad hoc networks. A systematic classification of these clustering schemes enables one to better understand and make improvements. In mobile ad hoc networks, the movement of the network nodes may…
Ticket assignment/dispatch is a crucial part of service delivery business with lot of scope for automation and optimization. In this paper, we present an end-to-end automated helpdesk email ticket assignment system, which is also offered as…
