This paper proposes a scheduling model for updating resource allocations for virtualized networks (VNs) without congestion. The proposed model determines the schedule of migrating traffic flows on VNs from old routes to new routes. The model aims to minimize the number of rounds required to complete the update of all existing VNs. We evaluate the performance of model in terms of the percentage of trials where feasible update scheduling exists and the number of rounds required to complete the update. Numerical results show that more rounds are required to achieve congestion-free update when the traffic demand or the number of VNs increases. The number of required rounds tends to remain the same when the maximum number of rounds exceeds a certain value;this observation helps network operators estimate the time required for VN update.

Multiple Constant Multiplication (MCM) is a ubiquitous problem for numerous computation-intensive applications. One efficient approach is to replace generic multipliers by multiplierless architectures based on bit-shifts and additions. The adder graphs describing the multiplierless circuits can be optimized according to various metrics. In this paper, we optimize for throughput and improve the state-of-the-art for the design of pipelined adder graphs. In contrast to existing approaches, which pipeline a posteriori or use heuristics, our solution is to optimally solve the pipelined adder graph design problem using Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). We first model the pipelining and its cost, and then incorporate it into the state-of-the-art ILP model for the MCM design. Fusing the MCM design with pipelining into a single global optimization problem exactly solved by powerful MILP solvers demonstrated clear benefits on numerous benchmarks. Moreover, mathematical modeling allows for an easily extendable tool which can adapt to evolving hardware models/metrics.

Searching for an available parking space is a major cause of traffic congestion and pollution. Besides, getting a free spot constitutes a primary worry for drivers on the road, which results in their daily discomfort and stress. Therefore, well-designed parking management tools are needed to effectively allocate parking spaces to drivers, especially in dense urban areas. In this perspective, we propose two linearintegerprogramming models for assigning parking spaces to all road users (private vehicles and carriers) while maximizing parking occupancy. The first combinatorial problem attributes to each driver only one parking space while the second one assigns two parking spaces if no space is suitable for that motorist. Feasible solutions are computed in an exact way by improved primal simplex method and in an approximated manner by two metaheuristics (Genetic algorithm and Taboo search) for larger scale applications. However, parking problems still persist when parking requests are not properly balanced between a city's zones, a local gridlock problem arises where certain areas are over-used and others under-used. For this reason, we first redistribute parking demands over urban areas before dedicating one or two spaces to each driver. To do this, we consider both solicitation rates in these areas and coverage ratios of received parking demands. Our parking space allocation solution is just one component of a transportation system heavily backed by information and communication technologies. This system consists of effectively managing a city's parking spaces by predicting and understanding their occupancy patterns. The suggested approach is applied to Casablanca city with several parking scenarios in order to evaluate its effectiveness and test its ability to minimize total walking distance, parking costs as well as unmet demand percentages. Experimental results show that our mathematical models can effectively rule out parking problems. The related published met

We study the collaborative data offloading problem for earth observation satellite networks (EOSNs) that allows light-loaded satellites to assist heavily-loaded ones to offload earth observation data. First, we propose a task flow graph (TFG) to depict the collaborative data offloading procedure. Based on the proposed TFG, we formulate the studied problem as integer linear programming (ILP) to maximize the weighted sum of successfully offloaded tasks. Then, we leverage the underlying structure of ILP to propose a fast yet efficient algorithm. Finally, our simulation results demonstrate that collaborative data offloading can significantly improve the performance of the EOSNs.
