Dynamic Freight Traffic Simulation Providing Real - Time Information

The paper describes a prototype Dynamic Freight Traffic Simulation model called DyFTS, constructed for studying the effects of highly developed information technologies and logistic strategies on freight transportation. DyFTS is designed as a highly adaptable system that can be easily embedded into a more comprehensive transportation simulation model. Various decision-making processes are formu...

Providing for an Open, Real-Time CORBA

While CORBA provides an infrastructure which allows objects to communicate, independent of the spe-ciic techniques, languages, and platforms used to implement the objects, it is not yet suited for real-time applications since CORBA lacks essential quality-of-service (QoS) features. Current work on real-time CORBA includes an oo-line scheduled, hard, real-time system based on rate-monotonic sche...

Providing QoS for Real-time Applications

This paper describes a framework for packetswitched networks that balances the needs of real-time and data applications. Routers use virtual queues to mark packets reflecting a measure of congestion. These marks are then used to control the admission of time-sensitive traffic and to regulate other traffic. We present a theoretical analysis of this framework. We evaluate the performance characte...

Urgent care and the emergency department: providing the right ambulatory care settings.

Emergency services are asked to treat a significant volume of patients that require nonemergent care. Alternative strategies have been proposed for managing this patient population, ranging from free-standing urgent care centers to the integration of urgent care patients with other patients treated in the ED. This article explores issues and physical options surrounding the provision of patient...
