Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Application of Combined Model for Tehran Metropolitan Area Incorporating Captive Travel BehaviorShahriar A. Zargari, Morteza Araghi, Kouros MohammadianTo overcome deficiencies of the sequential transportation planning approach, this research applies a Combined Trip Distribution and Assignment Model (CTDAM) for the simultaneous prediction. The proposed combined model can itself be reformulated as an Equivalent Minimization Problem (EMP). When applying the Evans algorithm to the EMP, the CTDAM is expected to be usable in a realistic application. The objective of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,855 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimal Network Design for Efficient Energy Utilization in Wireless Sensor NetworksChutima Prommak, Sujitra ModhirunProblem statement: This research presents a study of the optimal network design for efficient energy utilization in continuous data-gathering Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We first examine the problem of minimizing the network cost through the minimum number of relay-station installation. Then we further investigate the problem of minimizing the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. Approach: We model the network … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 3 Nov 2011 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOPTIMIZING MULTIPLE TRAVELLING SALESMAN PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE ROAD CAPACITYRanjana Ponraj, George AmalanathanThe Multiple Travelling Salesman Problems (MTSP) can be used in a wide range of discrete optimization problems. As the solution to this problem has wide applicability in many practical fields, this NP Hard problem highly raises the need for an efficient solution. The problem is determining a set of routes for the salesmen that jointly visit a set of given … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2013 · 6,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Positioning of Laser Beams Using Proportional Integral Derivative and Based Observer-Feedback ControlKwabena A. Konadu, Sun Yi, Wonchang Choi, Taher Abu-LebdehHigh-precision positioning of laser beams has been a great challenge in industry due to inevitable existence of noise and disturbance. The work presented in this study addresses this problem by employing two different control strategies: Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control and state feedback control with an observer. The control strategies are intended to stabilize the position of a laser beam … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Apr 2013 · 6,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Inverse Problem for Boolean EquationsAli Muhammad Ali Rushdi, Hussain Mobarak AlbarakatiThe Forward Problem (FB) of Boolean equations consists of finding solutions of a system of Boolean equations, or equivalently, a single Boolean equation of the form f(X) = 0 where f(X): Bn → B and B is an arbitrary Boolean algebra. By contrast, the Inverse Problem (IB) of Boolean equations aims to reconstruct the equation f (X) = 0 given … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 3 Jan 2013 · 8,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTasks Scheduling using Ant Colony OptimizationA. P. Shanthi, G. Umarani Srikanth, V. Uma Maheswari, Arul SiromoneyProblem statement: Efficient scheduling of the tasks to heterogeneous processors for any application is critical in order to achieve high performance. Finding a feasible schedule for a given task set to a set of heterogeneous processors without exceeding the capacity of the processors, in general, is NP-Hard. Even if there are many conventional approaches available, people have been looking at … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 25 Jul 2012 · 7,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOR/MS Applications in Mt. Merapi Disaster ManagementAmril Aman, Toni Bakhtiar, Farida Hanum, Prapto Tri SupriyoProblem statement: Much of researches on the management of disaster deal with their social aspects such as sociological and psychological effects on communities. Recently there had been a growing credit of the demand for application of the operational research and management science matters in disaster management. This approach commonly utilizes decision theory, dynamical system and optimization technique to minimize the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2012 · 7,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Bandwidth Allocation for Multiple Traffic Classes in IEEE 802.16e WiMax Networks: A Petrinet ApproachS. Geetha, R. JayaparvathyProblem statement: WiMAX supports multiple types of traffic such as data, voice and video. Each flow requires a certain minimum bandwidth to achieve its QoS. Bandwidth allocation to traffic classes should be in such a way that fairness criteria is met with. Hence, we propose a dynamic bandwidth allocation mechanism to achieve fair and efficient allocation. Approach: We present a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 6 Sep 2011 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHandling Fragmented Database Replication through Binary Vote Assignment Grid QuorumAinul Azila Che Fauzi, A. Noraziah, Noriyani Mohd Zain et al.Problem statement: Organizations critically needed to supply recent data to users who may be geographically remote, while at the same time handle a volume request of distributed data around multiple sites. The storage, availability and consistency are important issues to be addressed in order to allow distributed users efficiently and safely access data from many different sites. Approach: Data replication … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 23 Jul 2011 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring the Resiliency of the Manhattan Points of Entry in the Face of Severe DisruptionMayada Omer, Ali Mostashari, Roshanak NilchianiProblem statement: Resilient infrastructure systems are able to continue to provide the expected service levels following disruptive events. Implementing resiliency in infrastructure systems requires knowledge of the current resiliency of the system and a methodology by which different resiliency strategies can be evaluated. In the transportation infrastructure in particular, disruptions cause delays, which will in turn incur substantial economic losses … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2011 · 9,671 accessesView PDFCite
