Multi-Agent Aerial Load Transport Systems (MAATS) offer greater payload capacity and fault tolerance than single-drone solutions. However, they have an underdetermined tension allocation problem that leads to uneven energy distribution,…

Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are becoming increasingly popular due to their low cost and high mobility. In this paper we address the routing and coordination of a drone-truck pairing where the drone travels to multiple locations to…

This paper introduces the OPIAID algorithm, a novel approach for predicting and recommending personalized opioid dosages for individual patients. The algorithm optimizes pain management while minimizing opioid related adverse events (ORADE)…

Drones are becoming more and more popular nowadays. They are small in size, low in cost, and reliable in operation. They contain a variety of sensors and can perform a variety of flight tasks, reaching places that are difficult or…

Overdose related to prescription opioids have reached an epidemic level in the US, creating an unprecedented national crisis. This has been exacerbated partly due to the lack of tools for physicians to help predict the risk of whether a…

As Urban air mobility scales, commercial drone fleets offer a compelling, yet underexplored opportunity to function as mobile sensor networks for real-time urban traffic monitoring. In this paper, we propose a decentralized framework that…

We propose a novel framework for composing Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS) for delivery. Two composition approaches, i.e., sequential and parallel are designed considering the different behaviors of drone swarms. The proposed…

Motivated by cloud computing applications, we study the problem of how to optimally deploy new hardware subject to both power and robustness constraints. To model the situation observed in large-scale data centers, we introduce the Online…

Modular vehicles (MV) possess the ability to physically connect/disconnect with each other and travel in platoon with less energy consumption. A fleet of demand-responsive transit vehicles with such technology can serve passengers door to…

While RNA technologies hold immense therapeutic potential in a range of applications from vaccination to gene editing, the broad implementation of these technologies is hindered by the challenge of delivering these agents effectively. Lipid…

This study develops an online predictive optimization framework for dynamically operating a transit service in an area of crowd movements. The proposed framework integrates demand prediction and supply optimization to periodically redesign…

In cellular-connected unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) network, a minimization problem on the weighted sum of time cost and expected outage duration is considered. Taking advantage of UAV's adjustable mobility, an intelligent UAV navigation…

One practical open problem is the development of a distributed algorithm that achieves near-optimal utility using only a finite (and small) buffer size for queues in a stochastic network. This paper studies utility maximization (or cost…

Both the Mobile edge computing (MEC)-based and fog computing (FC)-aided Internet of Vehicles (IoV) constitute promising paradigms of meeting the demands of low-latency pervasive computing. To this end, we construct a dynamic NOMA-based…

Bike-sharing systems are a rapidly developing mode of transportation and provide an efficient alternative to passive, motorized personal mobility. The asymmetric nature of bike demand causes the need for rebalancing bike stations, which is…

Resource orchestration and configuration parameter search are key concerns for container-based infrastructure in cloud data centers. Large configuration search space and cloud uncertainties are often mitigated using contextual bandit…

We propose a novel framework for the recommendation of swarm-based drone delivery services based on the consumers preferences. We propose a density-based pruning approach that uses the concept of partnerships with charging station providers…

Network congestion often hinders the deployment of reserves needed to balance forecast errors during real-time operations. A pertinent idea to tackle this challenge involves adding deployment scenarios of spatial distributions of forecast…

This paper proposes a mathematical approach for robust control of a nanoscale drug delivery system in treatment of atherosclerosis. First, a new nonlinear lumped model is introduced for mass transport in the arterial wall, and its accuracy…

Tanker-based distribution systems have been prevalent in developing countries to supply clean and pure water in different regions. To efficiently operate such tanker service systems, a large fleet of tanker trucks are required to transport…
