We propose and analyze spillover-partitioning call admission control (CAC) for servicing multiple service classes in mobile wireless networks for revenue optimization with quality of service (QoS) guarantees. We evaluate the performance of spillover-partitioning CAC in terms of execution time and optimal revenue obtainable by comparing it with existing CAC algorithms, including partitioning, th...

The Passenger Origin / Destination Simulator (PODS) was used to investigate the competitive impacts of Origin-Destination control airline Revenue Management (RM) methods. Experiments performed included revenue performance of O-D control RM methods versus EMSRb fare class control, impacts of passenger choice assumptions, competing airlines with co-located hub vs. separate hubs, and different imp...

R management models traditionally assume that future demand is unknown but can be described by a stochastic process or a probability distribution. Demand is, however, often difficult to characterize, especially in new or nonstationary markets. In this paper, we develop robust formulations for the capacity allocation problem in revenue management using the maximin and the minimax regret criteria...

A model to examine the choice by jurisdiction whether to finance roads with taxes or tolls is developed. The idea of decentralized, local control and multiple jurisdictions distinguishes this analysis from one where a central authority maximizes global welfare. Key factors posited to explain the choice include the length of trips using the roads, the size of the governing jurisdiction, the elas...

The aim of this paper is to deal with the problem of coordination for online markets where a seller registers to an online market to sell an item. The seller and the owner of the market then form an alliance to generate revenue through online sales. However, the efficiency and stability of the alliance highly relies on the contract that specifies the way to split the revenue and costs over the ...

Andris Moïler is a research fellow at the Institute of Mathematics of the Humboldt-University Berlin. Before that, he was a research fellow at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics in Berlin and the Humboldt-University Berlin. His research interests include unit commitment in power production planning, optimal control of destillation processes with probabilistic constra...

Over the years, quality of service (QoS) has attracted attention from researchers. How to guarantee QoS to customers despite the rapid change of the network status is the main concern. Pricing provides an effective economic means of congestion control and revenue generation. We examine pricing as an effective strategy for revenue management in DiffServ networks. In this paper, we propose an auc...
