Majority of the million plus cities in India are facing serious problems of traffic congestion and pollution due to the unprecedented and rapid pace of urbanization in last decade. City planners are providing solution to these twin problems by developing Mass Rapid Transit System including Metro and BRT in many Indian Metropolitan cities. The availability of transit network and pedestrian acces...

This paper presents performance comparison among ve strategies for mobile support. The major facilities that are required for a network protocol to support mobile hosts are location management and packet forwarding. Based on this observation, we consider ve basic strategies which use distinct methods to achieve these facilities and compare their performance. These ve strategies are Broadcast No...

Thesis main purpose consist in LAN management intellectualization methods and facilities developing. To achieve this aim following problems was solved: Existing network management software was analyzed; Network management architecture and models was analyzed; Requirements to intellectual network management system was developed; Gathering and preliminary information processing methods was develo...

An Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed for optimal tree-structured natural gas distribution network. Design of pipelines, facilities, and equipment systems are necessary tasks to configure an optimal natural gas network. A mixed integer programming model is formulated to minimize the total cost in the network. The aim is to optimize pipe diameter sizes so that the location-alloc...

urbanization development followed by increase in travel demand in recent years made some problems for cities such as traffic, lack of suitable parking, environmental issues, economic and social etc. meanwhile, public transport, especially bus services are very important in the development of urban functions thus, paying attention to different aspects of the transport in order to increase its ef...

We propose a hybrid evolutionary algorithm based on discrete Particle Swarm Optimization for solving a novel remanufacturing sustainable supply chain design problem. There is little research being done in mathematical modeling and solutions methods for these problems. The paper describes a NP-hard mixed-integer 0-1 model (MIP) for this remanufacturing sustainable problem in which given a networ...

Previous proposals for improving the integration of Computing Facilities within the Division of Informatics have concentrated on merging the ex-departmental systems (See the paper Computing Facilities in the Division of Informatics1). Many of the suggested changes would be difficult and expensive to perform on a “live” network, and the inevitable compromises would make a poor foundation for a m...

An important concern for any nation wishing to convert to alternate, environmentally friendly energy sources is the development of appropriate fuel distribution infrastructure. We address the problem of optimally locating gas station facilities for developing nations, like India, which are in the process of converting from leaded to unleaded fuel. Importantly, a similar approach may be used in ...
