In this paper, we introduce a unified framework for studying various cloud traffic management problems, ranging from geographical load balancing to backbone traffic engineering. We first abstract these real-world problems as a…
In emergency patient transport from rural medical facility to center tertiary hospital, real-time monitoring of the patient in the ambulance by a physician expert at the tertiary center is crucial. While telemetry healthcare services using…
In this paper, we consider resource allocation optimization problem in cellular networks for different types of users running multiple applications simultaneously. In our proposed model, each user application is assigned a utility function…
Scarcity of health care resources could result in the unavoidable consequence of rationing. For example, ventilators are often limited in supply, especially during public health emergencies or in resource-constrained health care settings,…
The latest trends in high-performance computing systems show an increasing demand on the use of a large scale multicore systems in a efficient way, so that high compute-intensive applications can be executed reasonably well. However, the…
Due to possible emergency faults and frequency regulation reserve shortage in the multi-infeed hybrid AC-DC (MIDC) system, the emergency frequency control (EFC) with LCC-HVDC systems participating is important for system frequency…
Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint…
Medical emergency departments are complex systems in which patients must be treated according to priority rules based on the severity of their condition. We develop a model of emergency departments using Petri nets with priorities,…
Electrochemical energy storage (ES) units (e.g. batteries) have been field-validated as an efficient back-up resource that enhance resilience of the distribution system in case of natural disasters. However, using these units for resilience…
Bias in causal comparisons has a direct correspondence with distributional imbalance of covariates between treatment groups. Weighting strategies such as inverse propensity score weighting attempt to mitigate bias by either modeling the…
In this paper, we jointly consider communication, caching and computation in a multi-user cache-assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) system, consisting of one base station (BS) of caching and computing capabilities and multiple users with…
Agent-based epidemic models (ABMs) encode behavioral and policy heterogeneity but are too slow for nightly hospital planning. We develop county-ready surrogates that learn directly from exascale ABM trajectories using Universal Differential…
Mixture model-based clustering, usually applied to multidimensional data, has become a popular approach in many data analysis problems, both for its good statistical properties and for the simplicity of implementation of the…
With the global energy transition and the rapid penetration of electric vehicles (EVs), the widening travel cost gap between EVs and gasoline vehicles (GVs) increasingly affects commuters' route choices and may reshape urban congestion…
Location of depots and routing of emergency response units are assumed to be interdependent in the incident management system. System costs will be excessive if delay regarding routing decisions is ignored when locating response units. This…
With the growing demand for latency-critical and computation-intensive Internet of Things (IoT) services, the IoT-oriented network architecture, mobile edge computing (MEC), has emerged as a promising technique to reinforce the computation…
The deployment of inference services at the network edge, called edge inference, offloads computation-intensive inference tasks from mobile devices to edge servers, thereby enhancing the former's capabilities and battery lives. In a…
Path diversity works by setting up multiple parallel connections between the end points using the topological path redundancy of the network. In this paper, \textit{Forward Error Correction} (FEC) is applied across multiple independent…
