In this paper, we present a mathematical formulation for saving energy in fixed broadband wireless networks by selectively turning off idle communication devices in low-demand scenarios. This problem relies on a fixed-charge capacitated network design (FCCND), which is very hard to optimize. We then propose heuristic algorithms to produce feasible solutions in a short time.

This paper deals with the quantitative modeling and planning of the product development process in concurrent engineering (CE). CE requires that product design and its related process design be carried out concurrently. Many existing CE models highlight the impact of the upstream design on the downstream design. While in our research, a quantitative model of the product development process in C...

Business process management (BPM) is an important area of organizational design and an acknowledged source of corporate performance. Over the last decades, many approaches, methods, and tools have been proposed to discover, design, analyze, enact, and improve individual processes. At the same time, BPM research has been and still is paying ever more attention to BPM itself and the development o...

risk response planning is one of the main phases in the project risk management and has major impacts on the success of a large-scale project. since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. the conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the impreciseness of risk response pl...

Different schemes of dispersion management for cascaded transmission systems composed of standard monomode fibers (SMFS) and dispersion compensating fibers have been studied considering the most essential boundary conditions for practical network design. Alternating ordering of the compensation sections is found to improve considerably the eye opening penalty for high amplifier spacings of 120 km.
