The Distributed Cooperative Modeling System (DCMS) solves complex decision problems involving a lot of participants with different viewpoints by network based distributed modeling and multi-template aggregation. This thesis aims at extending the system with support for dynamic decision making process. First, the thesis presents a discussion of characteristics and optimal policy finding Markov D...

In this paper, multi-class classification system is of handwritten Arabic words using Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) is proposed, in which technical details are presented in terms of three stages, i.e. preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. Firstly, words are segmented from inputted scripts and also normalized in size. Then, features are extracted from each normalized word, where...

We develop a general framework for optimizing link adaptation for multiuser CDMA systems in the wideband limit. The framework is then used to solve for the optimal power control policy that minimizes average transmit power while satisfying a constraint on the per-user probability of packet loss due to deadline expiration. The optimal link adaptation is found through an infinite horizon dynamic ...

Received September 15, 1997; revised May 14, 1998; accepted August 20, 1998. Communicated by Jieh Hsiang. 1 A CPM/PERT can be either an AOV or an equivalent AOA (Activity On Arc) network. Here, AOV is adapted for comparison with SPREM. 2 Here, deterministic means that when a process on vertex V is complete, then all of V’s successors will enact the process individually.

In this paper, we present a scheme for dynamic resource management using traffic descriptors. A priority multi-class scheme to support QoS on an optical network is defined. Unlike existing mechanisms that depend on buffers management and scheduling algorithms, our mechanism does not require any electronic buffering in the intermediate optical network nodes, which is greatly desired. The propose...

In this paper, a bi-objective model is presented for dynamic and integrated network design of a new entrant competitive closed-loop supply chain. To consider dynamism and integration in the network design problem, multiple long-term periods are regarded during planning horizon, so that each long-term period includes several short-term periods. Furthermore, a chain to chain competition between t...

this paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order mimo nonlinear multi-agent systems. the agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. the communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. a distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...

Abstract Dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) is an important method in the long term transportation planning and management processes. However, most existing system optimum dynamic (SO-DTA), no side constraints are used to describe link capacities a network which shared by multiple vehicle types. Our motivation based on possibility for (DSO) have solutions, differ where queues formed dissipated ne...

High-speed serial network interfaces are becoming the primary way for modern embedded systems and systems-onchip to connect with each other and with peripheral devices. Modern communication interfaces are capable of operating at multiple speeds and are opening a new dimension of tradeoffs between computation and communication. Unfortunately, today’s CPU-centric techniques often fail to consider...
