Markovian Delay Prediction-Based Control of Networked Systems

A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...

Analytic Computation of End-to-end Delays in Queueing Networks with Batch Markovian Arrival Processes and Phase-type Service Times

This paper poposes an analytic approach to compute end-to-end delays in queueing networks composed of BMAP/PH/1 queues. The approximations for the first two moments of the end-to-end delays are based on corresponding moments for the delays at each node in the network. In a traffic-based decomposition of queueing networks, different techniques for the departure process approximation, including t...

Synchronization criteria for T-S fuzzy singular complex dynamical networks with Markovian jumping parameters and mixed time-varying delays using pinning control

In this paper, we are discuss about the issue of synchronization for singular complex dynamical networks with Markovian jumping parameters and additive time-varying delays through pinning control by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy theory.The complex dynamical systems consist of m nodes and the systems switch from one mode to another, a Markovian chain with glorious transition probabili...

Offload zone patient selection criteria to reduce ambulance offload delay

Emergency department overcrowding is a widespread problem and often leads to ambulance offload delay. If no bed is available when a patient arrives, the patient has to wait with the ambulance crew. A recent Canadian innovation is the offload zone—an area where multiple patients can wait with a single paramedic–nurse team allowing, the ambulance crew to return to service immediately. Although a ...

Prioritization of Overflow Tasks to Improve Performance of Mobile Cloud

Mobile devices may offload their applications to a virtual machine running on a cloud host. This application may fork new tasks which require virtual machines of their own on the same physical machine. Achieving satisfactory performance level in such a scenario requires flexible resource allocation mechanisms in the cloud data center. In this paper we present two such mechanisms which use prior...
