The flexibility in transmission networks is not fully utilized and reflected in existing energy management systems (EMSs). Corrective transmission switching (CTS) is proposed in this two-part paper to enable EMS to take advantage of the…

A major barrier to wide adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is the absence of reliable and equitable charging infrastructure. Poorly located charging stations create coverage gaps and slow down EV adoption, especially in underserved…

Greater capabilities of mobile communications technology enable interconnection of on-site medical care at a scale previously unavailable. However, embedding such critical, demanding tasks into the already complex infrastructure of mobile…

This paper presents a novel procedure for energy management system (EMS) that can utilize the flexibility in transmission network in a practical way. With the proposed enhanced EMS procedure, the reliability benefits that are provided by…

Mobile-edge computing (MEC) has recently emerged as a cost-effective paradigm to enhance the computing capability of hardware-constrained wireless devices (WDs). In this paper, we first consider a two-user MEC network, where each WD has a…

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) technology is a promising solution to assist power-constrained IoT devices by providing additional computing resources for time-sensitive tasks. In this paper, we consider the problem of optimal task…

Over the past several years, across the globe, there has been an increase in people seeking care in emergency departments (EDs). ED resources, including nurse staffing, are strained by such increases in patient volume. Accurate forecasting…

In this paper, we present a novel approach for robust optimal resource allocation with joint carrier aggregation to allocate multiple carriers resources optimally among users with elastic and inelastic traffic in cellular networks. We use…

Data center networks leverage multiple parallel paths connecting end host pairs to offer high bisection bandwidth for cluster computing applications. However, state of the art distributed multi-pathing protocols such as Equal Cost Multipath…

The ability to accurately forecast and control inpatient census, and thereby workloads, is a critical and longstanding problem in hospital management. Majority of current literature focuses on optimal scheduling of inpatients, but largely…

Emergency Response Management (ERM) is a critical problem faced by communities across the globe. Despite this, it is common for ERM systems to follow myopic decision policies in the real world. Principled approaches to aid ERM…

Opioid overdose rates have increased in the United States over the past decade and reflect a major public health crisis. Modeling and prediction of drug and opioid hotspots, where a high percentage of events fall in a small percentage of…

Effective agent shift scheduling is crucial for businesses, especially in the Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) industry, to ensure seamless operations and fulfill employee needs. Most studies utilizing mathematical model-based solutions…

This paper offers a strategic approach to Electric Vehicles (EVs) charging network planning, emphasizing the integration of demand and supply dynamics via continuous-time fluid queue models and discrete flow refueling location modeling, all…

There is a great divide between rural and urban areas, particularly in medical emergency care. Although medical best practice guidelines exist in hospital handbooks, they are often lengthy and difficult to apply clinically. The challenges…

We develop two distributed downlink resource allocation algorithms for user-centric, cell-free, spatially-distributed, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks. In such networks, each user is served by a subset of nearby transmitters…

The imbalance between the supply and demand of healthcare resources is a global challenge, which is particularly severe in developing countries. Governments and academic communities have made various efforts to increase healthcare supply…

Model-based development is a widely-used method to describe complex systems that enables the rapid prototyping. Advances in the science of distributed systems has led to the development of large scale statechart models which are distributed…

Despite the dependency of electric vehicle (EV) fleets on charging station availability, charging infrastructure remains limited in many cities. Three contributions are made. First, we propose an EV-to-charging station user equilibrium (UE)…

Emergency departments (EDs) often use a shared-queue setup in which physicians self-assign cases from a pool of triaged patients. We conduct a multi-method study to examine this self-assignment behavior and its effects on system…
