The eeciency of channel assignment in a cellular telephone system is considered using the measures of successful channel assignment ratio as well as response time. Existing paradigms of mutual exclusion and dining philosophers from distributed systems are used to synthesize new algorithms that optimize both measures. The results are veriied by extensive simulations.

The rapid development of intelligent transportation system technologies and the policy emphasis on their deployment have increased the importance of predictive dynamic network flow models, especially so-called dynamic network loading and dynamic traffic assignment models. In this chapter we provide a critical review of analytic models used in predicting time-varying urban network flows. Specifi...

The design and simulation of Winner-Take –All Current Mode (WTA) circuit is proposed. The proposed novel current mode CMOS WTA operates at 0.7v, which makes the circuit appropriated for low voltage hardware computation. The circuit was designed and simulated using Cadence gpdk090, with resolution of 0.001fA and an input dynamic range 50nA-10fA and power dissipation during competition is of arou...

Nowadays organizations face fast organizational changes and employee turnover, e.g user are unavailable or they change roles because of a promotion, that might compromise the execution of a business process instance and, thus, the achievement of organizational business goals. In this paper, we investigate the problem of dynamic resiliency to changes in the assignment of users to roles. The goal...

In this paper, we consider the Radar Placement and Power Assignment problem (RPPA) along a river. In this problem, a set of crucial points in the river are required to be monitored by a set of radars which are placed along the two banks. The goal is to choose the locations for the radars and assign powers to them such that all the crucial points are monitored and the total power is minimized. I...

Less-than-truckload industry has a valuable potential for applications of operations research in two areas, network design and efficiency improvement within existing networks. This thesis focuses on the latter, specifically the less-than-truckload terminals where cross docking operations occur. The assignment of incoming trailers to inbound docks is one of the critical decisions that affect the...
