Context Routing is one of the keys for controlling network resources. In current IP networks, routing algorithms objective is to find either a single best path between each pair of routers, or several paths with equal and optimal costs (ECMP, [1,2]). More generally, a multipath routing algorithm is an algorithm that allows finding multiple routes between two points on the network, regardless of...

In transportation and logistic applications, scheduling hours of service for multiple, interdependent truck drivers to ensure compliance with regulatory resting requirements time windows is an extremely challenging task. Models previously designed schedule routes have been capable capturing such scenarios. However, until now, there has no efficient way when facing multiple types interdependency...

Individual exposure to air pollution depends not only upon pollution concentrations in the surrounding environment, but also on the volume of air inhaled, which is determined by an individual's physiology and activity level. This study focuses on journey-time exposure, using network analysis in a GIS environment to identify pedestrian routes between multiple origins and destinations throughout ...

Within this paper, we focus on the development of algorithms capable of providing route suggestions to multiple simultaneously traveling users such that the (negative) impacts of the routes among each other are minimized. We refer to this kind of routes as system-aware routes. E.g., if multiple travelers are concurrently following the same route in a street network, it is most likely that traff...

In 1], we develop techniques for discovery , maintenance and adaptive updating of multiple routes in an ad hoc network with Poisson traac and exponential service (packet transmission) times. In the present paper, we report simulation results using the same approach, but when the traac is self-similar 3]. The shapes of the performance curves (delay and buuer occupancy of queues) for Poisson and ...

Ants are central place foragers and use multiple information sources to navigate between the nest and feeding sites. Individual ants rapidly learn a route, and often prioritize memory over pheromone trails when tested on a simple trail with a single bifurcation. However, in nature, ants often forage at locations that are reached via more complex routes with multiple trail bifurcations. Such rou...
