Simulation models for evaluation of terminal operations and traffic flow on adjacent road network
(2009)
The goods movement via terminals at ports is a complex operation as it involves use of different modes of transport that includes surface and marine. In this paper, we present three simulation models which can be used to ...
The KGP model of agency for Global Computing: Computational model and prototype implementation
(2005)
We present the computational counterpart of the KGP (Knowledge, Goals, Plan) declarative model of agency for Global Computing. In this context, a computational entity is seen as an agent developed using Computational Logic ...
Attraction of iodide ions by the free water surface, revealed by simulations with a polarizable force field based on drude oscillators
(2005)
Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that polarizable anions, such as iodide and bromide, preferentially accumulate close to the surface of electrolyte solutions. This finding is in sharp contrast to the ...
Effects of hofmeister anions on DPPC langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface
(2004)
In this work we investigated the effect of sodium salts of different monovalent anions belonging to the Hofmeister series on Langmuir monolayers of DPPC (1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine). The salts used were NaCl, NaBr, ...
Enhanced UMTS cost/revenue optimisation in offices scenarios
(2005)
In this paper Enhanced UMTS offices scenarios and classes of services up to wideband are taken into account. A model is proposed for optimising Enhanced UMTS based in costs and revenues. A system level simulator is used ...
Real-Time Control of a Segmented Telescope Test-Bed
(2003)
The control of large segmented telescopes is a challenging one due to the complexity and high order of the system. The high order dynamics lead to high order controllers that require more memory and faster computations for ...
Analysis of traffic flow with mixed manual and semiautomated vehicles
(2003)
The introduction of semiautomated vehicles designed to operate with manually driven vehicles is a realistic near-term objective. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects on traffic-flow characteristics and ...
Evaluation of the environmental effects of intelligent cruise control vehicles
(2001)
Intelligent cruise control (ICC) vehicles are already commercially available in Japan and should be ready for the North American market by next year. Although the controllers are local and string stable, it is not clear ...
Development and evaluation of bus priority scenarios via microscopic simulation models
(2009)
The number of private vehicles increased dramatically during the last two decades in the island of Cyprus. This phenomenon had a negative effect on the bus transport mode which over the years its use has been considerably ...
Adaptive nonlinear congestion controller for a differentiated-services framework
(2005)
The growing demand of computer usage requires efficient ways of managing network traffic in order to avoid or at least limit the level of congestion in cases where increases in bandwidth are not desirable or possible. In ...
