This study investigates dynamic system-optimal (DSO) and dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) traffic assignment of departure/arrival-time choices in a corridor network. The morning commute problems with a many-to-one pattern of…
This report considers a fairly general model of constrained queuing networks that allows us to represent both MMBP (Markov Modulated Bernoulli Processes) arrivals and time-varying service constraints. We derive a set of sufficient…
We consider a set of transmitter-receiver pairs, or links, that share a common channel and address the problem of emptying backlogged queues at the transmitters in minimum time. The problem amounts to determining activation subsets of links…
In this paper, we study the stability of light traffic achieved by a scheduling algorithm which is suitable for heterogeneous traffic networks. Since analyzing a scheduling algorithm is intractable using the conventional mathematical tool,…
A fluid queuing network constitutes one of the simplest models in which to study flow dynamics over a network. In this model we have a single source-sink pair and each link has a per-time-unit capacity and a transit time. A dynamic…
We consider traffic flow dynamics for a network of signalized intersections, where the outflow from every link is constrained to be equal to a given capacity function if the queue length is positive, and equal to the minimum of cumulative…
The advent of digital twins (DT) for the control and management of communication networks requires accurate and fast methods to estimate key performance indicators (KPI) needed for autonomous decision-making. Among several alternatives,…

This study develops a hybrid analytical and numerical approach for dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) assignment with simultaneous route and departure time choice (RDTC) for homogeneous users. The core concept of the proposed approach is the…
In unsplittable network flow problems, certain nodes must satisfy a combinatorial requirement that the incoming arc flows cannot be split or merged when routed through outgoing arcs. This so-called "no-split no-merge" requirement arises in…

We consider optimizing average queueing delay and average power consumption in a nonpreemptive multi-class M/G/1 queue with dynamic power control that affects instantaneous service rates. Four problems are studied: (1) satisfying per-class…
This paper studies queueing problems with an endogenous number of machines with and without an initial queue, the novelty being that coalitions not only choose how to queue, but also on how many machines. For a given problem, agents can…
Well-designed queuing systems form the backbone of modern communications, distributed computing, and content delivery architectures. Designs balancing infrastructure costs and user experience indices require tools from teletraffic theory…
The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem can be reformulated as a nonconvex Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Program (QCQP). There is a growing body of work on the use of semidefinite programming relaxations to solve OPF. The relaxation is…
In this paper, an stochastic queue core problem on a tree, which seeks to find a core in an M/G/1 operating environment is investigated. Let T = (V,E) be a tree, an stochastic queue core of T is assumed to be a path P, for which the…
In this paper we design throughput-optimal dynamic broad- cast algorithms for multi-hop networks with arbitrary topolo- gies. Most of the previous broadcast algorithms route pack- ets along spanning trees, rooted at the source node. For…
