The emergence of electric vehicle wireless charging technology, where a whole lane can be turned into infrastructure, leads to new challenges in the design and analysis road networks. From network perspective, major challenge is determining most important nodes with respect placement lanes. In other words, given limited budget, cities could face decision problem place these With heavy price tag...

Optimal port placement and intra-operative navigation in robotically assisted minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery are essential for the improvement and success of a teleoperator based heart operation. A new system incorporating both port placement planning and intraoperative navigation was established. Offline the optimal port placement is planned on a threedimensional virtual reconstruct...

We investigate the problem of coded caching for nonuniform demands when the structured clique cover algorithm proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen for decentralized caching is used for delivery. We apply this algorithm to all user demands regardless of their request probabilities. This allows for coding among the files that have different request probabilities but makes the allocation of memory to...

In this paper, we consider the optimal converter placement problem for a given number of converters on a path topology in all-optical WDM networks. The placement of converters on a path divides the path into segments. A segment is deened as a set of links between two consecutive converters on a path. We rst introduce and prove that optimal placement considering end-to-end performance is obtaine...
