Abstract: In an urban area the determination of transportation routes should be planned so as to minimize the provoked pollution taking into account the cost of such routes. In the sequel these routes are cited as pollution routes.
The transportation network is expressed by a weighted graph G=(V,E,D,P) where every vertex represents a location to be served and E contains unordered pairs (edges) of elements in V that indicate a simple road. The distances / cost and a weight that depict the provoked air pollution by a vehicle transition at every road are assigned to each road as well. These are the items of set D and P respectively.
Furthermore the investigated pollution routes must not exceed predefined corresponding values concerning the route cost and the route pollution level during the vehicle transition.
In this paper we present an algorithm that generates such routes in order that the decision maker selects the most appropriate one.
Abstract: Traffic Engineering (TE) is the process of controlling
how traffic flows through a network in order to facilitate efficient and
reliable network operations while simultaneously optimizing network
resource utilization and traffic performance. TE improves the
management of data traffic within a network and provides the better
utilization of network resources. Many research works considers intra
and inter Traffic Engineering separately. But in reality one influences
the other. Hence the effective network performances of both inter and
intra Autonomous Systems (AS) are not optimized properly. To
achieve a better Joint Optimization of both Intra and Inter AS TE, we
propose a joint Optimization technique by considering intra-AS
features during inter – AS TE and vice versa. This work considers the
important criterion say latency within an AS and between ASes. and
proposes a Bi-Criteria Latency optimization model. Hence an overall
network performance can be improved by considering this jointoptimization
technique in terms of Latency.
Abstract: Multiprocessor task scheduling is a NP-hard problem and Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been revealed as an excellent technique for finding an optimal solution. In the past, several methods have been considered for the solution of this problem based on GAs. But, all these methods consider single criteria and in the present work, minimization of the bi-criteria multiprocessor task scheduling problem has been considered which includes weighted sum of makespan & total completion time. Efficiency and effectiveness of genetic algorithm can be achieved by optimization of its different parameters such as crossover, mutation, crossover probability, selection function etc. The effects of GA parameters on minimization of bi-criteria fitness function and subsequent setting of parameters have been accomplished by central composite design (CCD) approach of response surface methodology (RSM) of Design of Experiments. The experiments have been performed with different levels of GA parameters and analysis of variance has been performed for significant parameters for minimisation of makespan and total completion time simultaneously.
