When total parking supply in an urban downtown area is insufficient, morning commuters would choose their departure times not only to trade off bottleneck congestion and schedule delays, but also to secure a parking space. Recent studies found that an appropriate combination of reserved and unreserved parking spaces can spread the departures of those morning commuters and hence reduce their tot...

A major concern with the IETF proposed Integrated Services (Intserv) architecture for providing Quality of Service is that the amount of reservation state it stores in the routers and the RSVP protocol it uses to maintain the consistency of reservation state may not be scalable to high-speed backbone networks. Because of the large number of flows in the backbone network, the refresh messages as...

Reservation-based (as opposed to contention-based) channel access in WLANs provides predictable and deterministic transmission and is therefore able to provide timeliness guarantees for wireless and embedded real-time applications. Also, reservation-based channel access is energy-efficient since a wireless adaptor is powered on only during its exclusive channel access times. While scheduling fo...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) is a self-organized collection of nodes that communicates without any infrastructure. Providing quality of service (QoS) in such networks is a competitive task due to unreliable wireless link, mobility, lack of centralized coordination, and channel contention. The success of many real time applications is purely based on the QoS, which can be achieved by quality a...

Reservation is always contentious and sentimental issue raises many concerns of the people. The policy reservation safeguards provided to Scheduled Castes Tribes Other Backward Classes has adversely affected unity solidarity nation. in India all about reserving access seats government jobs, educational institutions even legislatures certain sections population. can also be seen as positive disc...

a linear programming model has been presented for finding an appropriate planning in order to maximize hotel revenue. in this model, a special planning horizon has been considered that includes several busy days of a year. there are several reservation periods that may start a few months earlier. each period of reservation may have different prices and so result different incomes. hotel custome...

The IEEE 802.16e Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) system is developed to cater for rapidly growing requirement for multimedia wireless services. Since the heterogeneous services provided by the system are connection-oriented, Call Admission Control and required resource reservation mechanisms are needed to achieve desired quality of service (QoS). Traditional admission control algorithms are bas...

This paper develops a model for capturing continuous heterogeneity in the joint distribution of reservation prices for products and bundles. Our model is derived from utility theory and captures both withinand among-subject variability. Furthermore, it provides dollarmetric reservation prices and individual-level estimates that allow the firm to target customers and develop customized and nonli...

Cloud Computing is an emerging concept combining many fields of computing. It provides services, software and processing capacity over the internet. Deploying Virtual Machines in bulk is a very tedious and cumbersome job. Deploying a Virtual Machines on a Data Center involves various tasks such as installing the operating prepping the machine for a system ,adding a system to the domain and givi...
