Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the performance and optimization of systems where queueing and congestion are important constructs. Both finite and infinite queueing systems are examined. Many examples and case studies are utilized to indicate the breadth and depth of the queueing systems and their range of applicability. Blocking of these processes is very important and the book shows how to deal with this problem in an effective way and not only compute the performance measures of throughput, cycle times, and WIP but also to optimize the resources within these systems. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduate, graduate, and professionals and academics interested in network design, queueing performance models and their optimization. It assumes that the audience is fairly sophisticated in their mathematical understanding, although the explanations of the topics within the book are fairly detailed.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications DISCRETE EVENT SYSTEMS, MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS AND COMMUNICATION NETWORKS is based on the proceedings of a workshop that was an integral part of the 1992-93 IMA program on "Control Theory. " The study of discrete event dynamical systems (DEDS) has become rapidly popular among researchers in systems and control, in communication networks, in manufacturing, and in distributed computing. This development has created problems for re searchers and potential "consumers" of the research. The first problem is the veritable Babel of languages, formalisms, and approaches, which makes it very difficult to determine the commonalities and distinctions among the competing schools of approaches. The second, related, problem arises from the different traditions, paradigms, values, and experience that scholars bring to their study of DEDS, depending on whether they come from control, com munication, computer science, or mathematical logic. As a result, intellectual exchange among scholars becomes compromised by unexplicated assumptions. The purpose of the Workshop was to promote exchange among scholars representing some of the major "schools" of thought in DEDS with the hope that (1) greater clarity will be achieved thereby, and (2) cross-fertilization will lead to more fruitful questions. We thank P. R. Kumar and P. P. Varaiya for organizing the workshop and editing the proceedings. We also take this opportunity to thank the National Science Foundation and the Army Research Office, whose financial support made the workshop possible. A vner Friedman Willard Miller, Jr.

This book was released on 2006-05-04 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a thorough development of the modern theory of stochastic approximation or recursive stochastic algorithms for both constrained and unconstrained problems. This second edition is a thorough revision, although the main features and structure remain unchanged. It contains many additional applications and results as well as more detailed discussion.
Download or read book Stochastic Recursive Algorithms for Optimization written by S. Bhatnagar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-08-11 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stochastic Recursive Algorithms for Optimization presents algorithms for constrained and unconstrained optimization and for reinforcement learning. Efficient perturbation approaches form a thread unifying all the algorithms considered. Simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation and smooth fractional estimators for gradient- and Hessian-based methods are presented. These algorithms: • are easily implemented; • do not require an explicit system model; and • work with real or simulated data. Chapters on their application in service systems, vehicular traffic control and communications networks illustrate this point. The book is self-contained with necessary mathematical results placed in an appendix. The text provides easy-to-use, off-the-shelf algorithms that are given detailed mathematical treatment so the material presented will be of significant interest to practitioners, academic researchers and graduate students alike. The breadth of applications makes the book appropriate for reader from similarly diverse backgrounds: workers in relevant areas of computer science, control engineering, management science, applied mathematics, industrial engineering and operations research will find the content of value.

Download or read book An Optimal Adaptive Routing Algorithm for Large scale Stochastic Time dependent Networks written by Jing Ding and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the research is to study optimal routing policy (ORP) problems and to develop an optimal adaptive routing algorithm practical for large-scale Stochastic Time-Dependent (STD) real-life networks, where a traveler could revise the route choice based upon en route information. The routing problems studied can be viewed as counterparts of shortest path problems in deterministic networks. A routing policy is defined as a decision rule that specifies what node to take next at each decision node based on realized link travel times and the current time. The existing routing policy algorithm is for explorative purpose and can only be applied to hypothetical simplified network. In this research, important changes have been made to make it practical in a large-scale real-life network. Important changes in the new algorithm include piece-wise linear travel time representation, turn-based, label-correcting, criterion of stochastic links, and dynamic blocked links. Complete dependency perfect online information (CDPI) variant is then studied in a real-life network (Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts). Link travel times are modeled as random variables with time-dependent distributions which are obtained by running Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) using data provided by Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC). A comprehensive explanation of the changes by comparing the two algorithms and an in-depth discussion of the parameters that affects the runtime of the new algorithm is given. Computational tests on the runtime changing with different parameters are then carried out and the summary of its effectiveness are presented. To further and fully understand the applicability and efficiency, this algorithm is then tested in another large-scale network, Stockholm in Sweden, and in small random networks. This research is also a good starting point to investigate strategic route choice models and strategic route choice behavior in a real-life network. The major tasks are to acquire data, generate time-adaptive routing policies, and estimate the runtime of the algorithm by changing the parameters in two large-scale real-life networks, and to test the algorithm in small random networks. The research contributes to the knowledge base of ORP problems in stochastic time-dependent (STD) networks by developing an algorithm practical for large-scale networks that considers complete time-wise and link-wise stochastic dependency.

This book was released on 2003-12-09 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening new directions in research in both discrete event dynamic systems as well as in stochastic control, this volume focuses on a wide class of control and of optimization problems over sequences of integer numbers. This is a counterpart of convex optimization in the setting of discrete optimization. The theory developed is applied to the control of stochastic discrete-event dynamic systems. Some applications are admission, routing, service allocation and vacation control in queuing networks. Pure and applied mathematicians will enjoy reading the book since it brings together many disciplines in mathematics: combinatorics, stochastic processes, stochastic control and optimization, discrete event dynamic systems, algebra.
