In the past, the first way to reduce the congestion of the Air Traffic Control System was to modify the structure of the airspace in order to increase the capacity (increasing the number of runways, increasing the number of sectors by reducing their size). This method has a limit due to the cost involved by new runways and the way to manage traffic in too small sectors (a controller needs a min...

Abstract— When measured as a commodity, electric energy can be traded in a free market, synchronized only by the bids of customers and suppliers. With the beginning of deregulation in electricity sector, many Generation and Distribution Companies have come into the picture and change the vertically integrated organization of electric utilities. However, the combined transmission system is measu...

Continuing advances in semiconductor technology, coupled with an increasing concern for energy efficiency, have led to an industry-wide shift in focus towards modular designs that leverage parallelism in order to meet performance goals. Networks-onChip (NoCs) are widely regarded as a promising approach for addressing the communication challenges associated with future Chip Multi-Processors (CMP...

reactive power management plays an essential role in the secure operation of the power system as an ancillary service. although in electricity markets, the particular attention is paid to active power, the reactive power also plays an important on total generation costs of electricity. on the other hand, as it is mainly confined to local consumption, to avoid market power and maintain the secur...

We analyze the benefit of production/service capacity sharing for a set of independent firms. Firms have the choice of either operating their own production/service facilities or investing in a facility that is shared. Facilities are modeled as queueing systems with finite service rates. Firms decide on capacity levels (the service rate) to minimize delay costs and capacity investment costs pos...

The ability to restore a virtual platform from a previously saved simulation state can considerably shorten the typical edit-compile-debug cycle for software developers and therefore enhance productivity. For SystemC based virtual platforms (VP), dedicated checkpoint/restore (C/R) solutions are required, taking into account the specific characteristics of such platforms. Apart from restoring th...

We characterize the price of anarchy (POA) in weighted congestion games, as a function of the allowable resource cost functions. Our results provide as thorough an understanding of this quantity as is already known for nonatomic and unweighted congestion games, and take the form of universal (cost function-independent) worst-case examples. One noteworthy byproduct of our proofs is the fact that...
