The emergence of new applications brings multi-class traffic with diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements to wide area networks (WANs), motivating research in traffic engineering (TE). In recent years, novel centralized and…

This paper proposes two cooperative optimal output tracking (COOT) algorithms based on policy iteration (PI) for discrete-time multi-agent systems with unknown model parameters. First, we establish a stabilizing PI framework that can start…

Traffic light control is important for reducing congestion in urban mobility systems. This paper proposes a real-time traffic light control method using deep Q learning. Our approach incorporates a reward function considering queue lengths,…

We consider the load balancing system under Poisson arrivals, exponential services, and homogeneous servers. Upon arrival, a job is to be routed to one of the servers, where it is queued until service. We consider the Power-of-$d$ choices…

Backpressure (BP) control was originally used for packet routing in communications networks. Since its first application to network traffic control, it has undergone different modifications to tailor it to traffic problems with promising…

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) can alleviate traffic congestion, air pollution, and improve safety. In this paper, we provide a decentralized coordination framework for CAVs at a signal-free intersection to minimize travel time and…

In queueing systems, effective scheduling algorithms are essential for optimizing performance. Optimal scheduling for the M/G/k queue has been explored in the heavy traffic limit, but much remains unknown in the intermediate load regime. In…

MapReduce framework is the de facto in big data and its applications where a big data-set is split into small data chunks that are replicated on different servers among thousands of servers. The heterogeneous server structure of the system…

We consider a queueing system composed of a dispatcher that routes deterministically jobs to a set of non-observable queues working in parallel. In this setting, the fundamental problem is which policy should the dispatcher implement to…

With the continuous growth in communication network complexity and traffic volume, communication load balancing solutions are receiving increasing attention. Specifically, reinforcement learning (RL)-based methods have shown impressive…

Load balancing is a common approach in web server farms or inventory routing problems. An important issue in such systems is to determine the server to which an incoming request should be routed to optimize a given performance criteria. In…

The problem of minimizing queueing delay of opportunistic access of multiple continuous time Markov channels is considered. A new access policy based on myopic sensing and adaptive transmission (MS-AT) is proposed. Under the framework of…

We present a traffic simulation named DeepTraffic where the planning systems for a subset of the vehicles are handled by a neural network as part of a model-free, off-policy reinforcement learning process. The primary goal of DeepTraffic is…

While scheduling and dispatching of computational workloads is a well-investigated subject, only recently has Google provided publicly a vast high-resolution measurement dataset of its cloud workloads. We revisit dispatching and scheduling…

This paper considers a novel travel-delay-based Max Pressure algorithm for control of arbitrary transportation networks with signalized intersections. The traditional number-of-vehicle-based Max Pressure (Original-MP) algorithm has received…

Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) exploits temporal abstraction to solve large Markov Decision Processes (MDP) and provide transferable subtask policies. In this paper, we introduce an off-policy HRL algorithm: Hierarchical Q-value…

While existing studies have highlighted the advantages of deep learning (DL)-based joint source-channel coding (JSCC) schemes in enhancing transmission efficiency, they often overlook the crucial aspect of resource management during the…

Multi-server queueing systems are widely used models for job scheduling in machine learning, wireless networks, crowdsourcing, and healthcare systems. This paper considers a multi-server system with multiple servers and multiple types of…

A multi-class single-server queueing model with finite buffers, in which scheduling and admission of customers are subject to control, is studied in the moderate deviation heavy traffic regime. A risk-sensitive cost set over a finite time…

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…
