process mining includes the automated discovery of petri nets from event logs. these event logs are the starting point for various discovery and analysis techniques of the process.  in this paper process model is developed using colored petri nets (cpns) and the supporting software package cpn tools. the restaurant process model is represented for the analysis using a combination of process min...

While most of the traffic on the Internet today consists of TCP flows, conventional wisdom holds that TCP is unsuitable for video streaming applications due to its insistence on reliability and lack of throughput guarantees. However, most streaming protocols need to implement many features of TCP including congestion control and recovery from packet loss. Additionally, using TCP for streaming i...

Limiting the negative effects of human-induced global warming is focus climate policy worldwide. In European Union (EU), target for reaching carbon neutrality set to 2050, including a proposed renewable energy 45% 2030. Finland, government has pledged reach net-zero emissions already by 2035, which expected require large increases in wind and nuclear capacity, as well sector coupling with, e.g....

It is of great significance to develop clean and new energy sources with high-efficient storage technologies, due the excessive use fossil that has caused severe environmental damage. There interest in exploring advanced rechargeable lithium batteries desirable power capabilities for applications portable electronics, smart grids, electric vehicles. In practice, high-capacity low-cost electrode...

Congestion in urban arterial road networks increases steadily. For long-range road investment planning it is essential to be able to evaluate the impacts of this congestion on road user costs and on the environment. The current method is to use transport planning models with static traffic assignment. This method, however, may significantly underestimate the impacts of congestion because of the...

One of the key concerns for practitioners and academicians is that there are almost no platforms based on analytical models for testing the impact of various architectural and design modifications for intelligent Network Interface Cards (NICs). Simulations are typically time-consuming, especially for experimenting different scenarios and what-if analysis. In this research, we study the performa...

versity through genetic drift, founder effects, and genetic bottlenecks. Such events can reduce a population’s evolutionary potential and increase the risk of extinction. In this chapter, we use plant immigrants as a model system to examine the circumstances in which genetic bottlenecks do (and do not) occur and where in the hierarchical partitioning of genetic diversity such bottlenecks take p...

Urban road congestions change both temporally and spatially. They are essentially caused by network bottlenecks. Therefore, understanding bottleneck dynamics is critical in the goal of reasonably allocating transportation resources. In general, a typical bottleneck experiences the stages of formation, propagation and dispersion. In order to understand the three stages of a bottle neck and how t...
