Simultaneous Workload Allocation and Capacity Dimensioning for Distributed Production Control

Simultaneous Workload Allocation and Capacity Dimensioning for Distributed Production Control

Capacity dimensioning in production systems is an important task within strategic and tactical production planning which impacts system cost and performance. Traditionally capacity demand at each worksystem is determined from standard operating processes and estimated production flow rates, accounting for a desired level of utilization or required throughput times. However, for distributed prod...

A Framework for workload allocation in distributed transaction processing systems

Ever-increasing demands for high transaction rates, limitations of high-end processors, high availability, and modular growth considerations are all driving forces toward distributed architectures for transaction processing. However, a prerequisite to taking advantage of the capacity of a distributed transaction processing system is an effective strategy for workload allocation. The distributio...

Multi Objective Allocation of Distributed Generations and Capacitor Banks in Simultaneous

This paper has developed a novel multiobjective function for optimal sizing and sitting ofDistributed Generation (DG) units and capacitor banks in simultaneous mode to improve reliabilityand reduce energy losses. The proposed function consists of four objectives: Cost of Energy NotSupplied (CENS), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), costs of energy loss andinvestment. A novel st...

Distributed Resource Allocation for Epidemic control

We present a distributed resource allocation strategy to control an epidemic outbreak in a networked population based on a Distributed Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (D-ADMM) algorithm. We consider a linearized SusceptibleInfected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic spreading model in which agents in the network are able to allocate vaccination resources (for prevention) and antidotes (for ...
