this paper deals with the problem of user-server assignment in online social network systems. online social network applications such as facebook, twitter, or instagram are built on an infrastructure of servers that enables them to communicate with each other. a key factor that determines the facility of communication between the users and the servers is the expected transmission time (ett). a ...

this paper presents a new centralized adaptive method under frequency load shedding. sometimes, after initial frequency drop following severe disturbances, although the system frequency returns to its permissible value, however, the system might become unstable due to voltage problems. in this regard, the paper proposes a new centralized adaptive load shedding method to enhance the voltage stab...

The benefit of using external acoustic sensor nodes for noise reduction in hearing aids is demonstrated in a simulated acoustic scenario with multiple sound sources. A distributed adaptive node-specific signal estimation (DANSE) algorithm, that has a reduced communication bandwidth and computational load, is evaluated. Batch-mode simulations compare the noise reduction performance of a centrali...

Using a distributed algorithm rather than a centralized one can be extremely bene cial in large search problems. In addition, the incorporation of machine learning techniques like Reinforcement Learning (RL) into search algorithms has often been found to improve their performance. In this article we investigate a search algorithm that combines these properties by employing RL in a distributed m...

Abslrucl A new motion planning framework is presented that enables multiple mobile robots with limited ranges of sensing and communication to maneuver and achieve goals safely in dynamic environments. To combine the respective advantages of centralized and de-centralized planning, this framework is based on the concept of centralized planning within dynamic robot networks. As the robots move in...
