Multiprocessor Stochastic Model For Elastic Traffic With Different Service Capacity

Dynamic Stochastic Optimization Model for Air Traffic Flow Management with En Route and Airport Capacity Constraints

In this paper, we present a linear dynamic stochastic optimization model for Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) that accounts for uncertainty in both airport and en route airspace capacity. Rather than analyzing this problem in its full generality, we focus on the case in which there is a single destination airport and a small number of arrival fixes subject to blockage or reduced capacity as a...

Capacity dimensioning of VPN access links for elastic traffic

This paper discusses research into the capacity dimensioning of Virtual Private Network (VPN) access links for elastic traffic, such as the Web or ftp. Assuming that the coreVPN network is provisioned with a sufficiently large capacity, managing the capacity of the VPN access link comes to sharing the bandwidth for the elastic traffic of the two bottlenecks, the ingress and egress access links....

Service Differentiation and Guarantees for TCP-based Elastic Traffic

A stochastic model for operating room planning under uncertainty and equipment capacity constraints

In the present economic context, the operating theater is considered as a critical activity in health care management. This paper describes a model for operating room (OR) planning under constraint of a unique equipment. At first level we schedule elective surgeries under the uncertainty of using a unique equipment. At the second level we consider emergency surgeries, and at the third le...

An Analytical Model for Wireless Networks with Stochastic Capacity

In wireless networks, the system capacity can vary unpredictably with time, due to mobility of users and dynamic channel assignment protocols. This variation in capacity with time, known as ‘stochastic capacity’, can have a major impact on the performance measures such as call blocking probability and queueing delay, of the wireless networks. The dependence of the stochastic capacity on the int...
