The efficient and economic allocation of resources is one main goal in the field of production planning and control. Nowadays, a new variable gains in importance throughout the planning process: Energy. Energy-efficiency has already been widely discussed in literature, but with a strong focus on reducing the overall amount of energy used in production. This paper provides a brief systematic app...

Congestion in the transmission lines is one of the technical problems that appear particularly in the deregulated environment. The voltage stability issue gets more important because of heavy loading in this environment. The main factor causing instability is the inability of the power system to meet the demand for reactive power. This paper presents a new approach for alleviation congestion re...

In the not so distant future, we envisage an Internet where the biggest share of capacity is used by streaming applications. To avoid congestion collapse from unresponsive flows calls for a robust and ubiquitous end-to-end multimedia congestion control mechanism, such as TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC), which provides fair sharing with the other Internet traffic. This paper therefore analyses ...

Central issue in congestion control for available bit rate service ATM networks is the comparison of the fair rate for every connection at each switching node in the network. The objective is to determine the fair rate for all the connections in a distributed network under dynamic changes in the changes in the absence of centralized knowledge about the network and without the synchronization of...

The increasing penetration level of distributed energy resources (DERs) increases the risk congestion in distribution network. To mitigate this, concept small-scale DER aggregator was introduced as a change from uncoordinated to coordinated DERs. However, without appropriate network use cost allocation, unwanted curtailment will be enforced by operator. Therefore, this paper proposes new approa...

This paper addresses the problematic of congestion control in the radio access interface when considering the allocation of voice and data services over several Radio Access Technologies (RATs). In particular, the GSMIEDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) and the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) are considered for the evaluation of congestion control strategies. After a congestion situ...

A new congestion control method is proposed in this paper. It makes use of the combination of buffer queue length and its variation rate to estimate the degree of congestion. It divides the node states and adopts various bandwidth allocation strategies according to different states, which ensures the reliable transmission of emergent information. Firstly, this paper introduces the queue model w...

Widespread deployment of multicast depends critically on the existance of congestion control protocols that are provably fair to unicast traffic. In this work, we present an optimization-based congestion control mechanism for one-to-many communication with provable fairness properties. The optimization-based approach attempts to find an allocation of rates that maximizes the aggregate utility o...

My research interests lie in the field of emergency navigation and emergency management of confined places in both standard and emergency conditions. In conjunction, novel routing algorithms to realise energy efficiency in evacuation process are investigated. Disasters such as fire in buildings or vessels could cause a large amount of injuries and fatalities as well as enormous losses in proper...
