This paper proposes a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) optimization model for the scheduling problem of interconnected microgrid system. The proposed is capable efficiently minimizing microgrids' total operating costs and improving entire system's reliability, as it constrained based on enhancing reliability. Expected Energy Not Supplied (EENS) considered in order to ensure power deficie...

Green networking has recently been proposed to reduce energy cost as well as carbon footprint of computer networks. However, the application of green networking to multihop wireless networks has seldom been reported in the literature. This paper presents an energy-efficient framework for joint routing and link scheduling in multihop TDMA-based wireless networks. Our objective is to find an opti...

This paper addresses the problem of choosing the best streaming policy for distortion optimal multipath video delivery, under delay constraints. The streaming policy consists in a joint selection of the video packets to be transmitted, as well as their sending time, and the transmission path. A simple streaming model is introduced, which takes into account the video packet importance, and the d...

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) refer to a promising class of systems featuring intimate coupling between the ‘cyber’ intelligence and the ‘physical’ world. Enabled by the ubiquitous availability of computation and communication capabilities, such systems are widely envisioned to redefine the way that people interact with the physical world, similar to the revolutionary role of internet in transfo...

In this paper, a model predictive control (MPC)-based coordinated scheduling framework for variable wind generation and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is presented. On the basis of the short-term forecast of available wind generation and price information, a joint look-ahead optimization is performed by the wind farm and storage system to determine their net power injection to the elect...

This paper investigates a novel joint problem of routing, scheduling, and channel allocation for single-radio multichannel wireless mesh networks in which multiple channel widths can be adjusted dynamically through a new software technology so that more concurrent transmissions and suppressed overlapping channel interference can be achieved. Although the previous works have studied this joint p...

Operating rooms have become the most important areas in hospitals because of the scarcity and cost of resources. The present study investigates operating room scheduling and rescheduling considering the priority of surgical patients in a specialized hospital. The ultimate purpose of scheduling is to minimize patient waiting time, surgeon idle time between surgeries, and penalties for deviations...
