Task allocation is a critical issue in proper engineering of cooperative applications in embedded systems with latency and energy constraints, as in wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs). Existing task allocation algorithms are mostly concerned with energy savings and ignore time constraints and thus increase the makespan of tasks in the network as well as the probability of malfunctioning...

Resource allocation mechanisms require that routers execute a scheduling discipline that manages buffering of packets during waiting time. Various scheduling algorithms may be implemented to govern packet transmission and control packet loss. Volume of UDP traffic is dramatically increasing due to the widely used P2P and steaming technologies. Unlike TCP, UDP protocol does not have mechanism to...

  Response time is one of the critical web service quality dimensions. It refers to how long it takes that a web service responds to request of a user. In order to manage the response time, pricing schemes can work as an efficient access control mechanism. In this paper, we study competition between two providers offering functionally same web services where there is a monopoly service provider...

This paper provides a comprehensive literature review of mathematical models in cross docking planning. From the reviews, the models are classified in three different levels regarding its decisions level which are operational, tactical, and strategic level. The researches in operational level are mainly related to develop model in scheduling, dock door assignment, transhipment problem, vehicle ...

The e cient support of data tra c over ATM networks requires congestion control, whose objectives include maximizing throughput, minimizing switch bu er requirement, and attaining a fair bandwidth allocation. With available bit rate (ABR) service in ATM, congestion control is achieved by requiring data sources to adjust their rates based on the feedback from the network. The di culties in provi...

We study a logistics network where shippers collaborate and bundle their shipment requests in order to negotiate better rates with a common carrier. In this setting, shippers are able to identify collaborative routes with decreased overall empty truck movements. After the optimal routes that minimize total cost of covering all the shippers’ demand are determined, this cost is allocated among th...

Closed form mathematical expressions of network parameters such as the mean packet delay are useful for evaluating the communication network performance in the design process. This paper provides a simple derivation of closed form expression of the mean packet delay for the gated service dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm (DBAA) in an Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON). Using the queui...

The integration of computing containers into Internet Things (IoT) systems created a lot challenges and opportunities in the connected devices cloud industries. In this paper, author proposed mathematical modeling method to analyze optimize deployment an IoT-based ecosystem. By implementing techniques, such as queuing theory, optimization algorithms, statistical analysis, we aim address key con...

Cloud computing has emerged as an optimal way of sharing and providing resources over the internet. Resource Allocation is one of the pretentious concerns in the cloud. It allocates the resources to its consumer on demand. Because it offers dynamic flexible resource allocation for reliable and guaranteed services in pay as-you-use manner to public. In this paper, we surveyed and analyzed severa...
