Edge computing has become a very popular service that enables mobile devices to run complex tasks with the help of network-based computing resources. However, edge clouds are often resource-constrained, which makes resource allocation a…
In this paper, we consider a load balancing system under a general pull-based policy. In particular, each arrival is randomly dispatched to one of the servers whose queue lengths are below a threshold, if there are any; otherwise, this…
This paper develops boundary control for freeway traffic with a downstream bottleneck. Traffic on a freeway segment with capacity drop at outlet of the segment is a common phenomenon leading to traffic bottleneck problem. The capacity drop…
Mobile-edge computing (MEC) emerges as a promising paradigm to improve the quality of computation experience for mobile devices. Nevertheless, the design of computation task scheduling policies for MEC systems inevitably encounters a…
This paper presents a queueing network approach to the analysis and control of mobility-on-demand (MoD) systems for urban personal transportation. A MoD system consists of a fleet of vehicles providing one-way car sharing service and a team…
The Quality-and-Efficiency-Driven (QED) regime provides a basis for solving asymptotic dimensioning problems that trade off revenue, costs and service quality. We derive bounds for the optimality gaps that capture the differences between…
Over 30 million Americans are affected by Type II diabetes (T2D), a treatable condition with significant health risks. This study aims to develop and validate predictive models using machine learning (ML) techniques to estimate emergency…
Reducing the response time of Emergency Vehicles (EVs) has an undoubted advantage in saving life and property. Implementing pre-emption can aid in achieving it. EVs get unobstructed movement via pre-emption, usually by altering traffic…
Patient triage at emergency departments (EDs) is necessary to prioritize care for patients with critical and time-sensitive conditions. Different tools are used for patient triage and one of the most common ones is the emergency severity…
Mobile edge computing (MEC) emerges as a promising solution for servicing delay-sensitive tasks at the edge network. A body of recent literature started to focus on cost-efficient service placement and request scheduling. This work…
The deployment of machine learning in high-stakes services relies on ``human-in-the-loop'' architectures to mitigate algorithmic uncertainty. However, existing static policies fail to address a fundamental tension: algorithms suffer from…
Recent literature has proved that stable dynamic routing algorithms have solid theoretical foundation that makes them suitable to be implemented in a real protocol, and used in practice in many different operational network contexts. Such…
With the simultaneous rise of energy costs and demand for cloud computing, efficient control of data centers becomes crucial. In the data center control problem, one needs to plan at every time step how many servers to switch on or off in…
Maximum throughput requires path diversity enabled by bifurcating traffic at different network nodes. In this work, we consider a network where traffic bifurcation is allowed only at a subset of nodes called \emph{routers}, while the rest…
While mobile edge computing (MEC) alleviates the computation and power limitations of mobile devices, additional latency is incurred when offloading tasks to remote MEC servers. In this work, the power-delay tradeoff in the context of task…
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…
Proper scheduling of air assets can be the difference between life and death for a patient. While poor scheduling can be incredibly problematic during hospital transfers, it can be potentially catastrophic in the case of a disaster. These…
Frequent users of emergency departments (ED) pose a significant challenge to hospital emergency services. Despite a wealth of studies in this field, it is hardly understood, what medical conditions lead to frequent attendance. We examine…
Actions taken immediately following a life-threatening personal health incident are critical for the survival of the sufferer. The timely arrival of specialist ambulance crew in particular often makes the difference between life and death.…
The ever-increasing demand for data services and the proliferation of user equipment (UE) have resulted in a significant rise in the volume of mobile traffic. Moreover, in multi-band networks, non-uniform traffic distribution among…
