Load-path optimisation of funicular networks

Load Balancing by Distributed Optimisation in Ad Hoc Networks

We approach the problem of load balancing for wireless multi-hop networks by distributed optimisation. We implement an approximation algorithm for minimising the maximum network congestion as a modification to the DSR routing protocol. The algorithm is based on shortest-path computations that are integrated into the DSR route discovery and maintenance process. The resulting Balanced Multipath S...

Implementation of Load-path Topology Optimisation in Samcef for the Generation of Compliant Structures

An implementation of load-path topology optimisation is presented which enables the synthesis of lattice-based compliant structures (with both distributed and concentrated compliance) using the existing functionality of SAMCEF and BOSS-quattro. A case study concerning the design of a compliant aircraft wing leading edge is used to illustrate the technique and to demonstrate how the logical prog...

Load-Balanced K-Shortest Path Routing for Circuit-Switched Networks

Issues of the load-balanced K-shortest path routing are investigated in this paper, including multiple alternative routing strategies, network loss performance, and optimal interval for network status updates. A max-min cost function for alternative path evaluation is applied to Least Loaded Routing model in circuitswitched networks. Two kinds of routing strategy which may update the network st...

Longest Path in Networks of Queues in the Steady-State

Due to the importance of longest path analysis in networks of queues, we develop an analytical method for computing the steady-state distribution function of longest path in acyclic networks of queues. We assume the network consists of a number of queuing systems and each one has either one or infinite servers. The distribution function of service time is assumed to be exponential or Erlang. Fu...
