Mathematical Programming Approach To Allocate Local Or National Resources For Bridge Maintenance Rehabilitation & Replacement Planning (RESEARCH NOTE)

Strategic Planning for the National Bridge Stock of Iran

The National Bridge Stock of Iran consists of about 330,000 bridges, of which around 50% are older than 30 years. Since 2010, Iran Road Maintenance & Transportation Organization has started implementing a comprehensive Bridge Management System in order to manage this aged stock efficiently. To predict future conditions of bridge stock, a heuristic numerical method is presented. This methodology...

Using linear programming to allocate resources in communication systems

We consider the following communications system: A mobile cellular telephone company would like to serve K users simultaneously. Each user (transmitter) transmits data to the company’s base station (receiver) in the form of bits (0’s and 1’s). By modulating electromagnetic waves of different frequencies, each user’s data can be transmitted on a fixed set of “frequency slots” approved the govern...

How to Allocate Resources For Features Acquisition?

We study classification problems where features are corrupted by noise and where the magnitude of the noise in each feature is influenced by the resources allocated to its acquisition. This is the case, for example, when multiple sensors share a common resource (power, bandwidth, attention, etc.). We develop a method for computing the optimal resource allocation for a variety of scenarios and d...

Using Performance Prediction to Allocate Grid Resources

Large-scale applications often require computational grids to obtain the needed compute power for execution. Generally, users are given access to a collection of resources that can be used for execution. The collection of resources can be dynamic, and the users must decide which collection of heterogeneous and distributed resources to use. However, many users often do not have knowledge of all ...
