Abstract
In this paper, a comparative study between a hybrid technique that combines a Genetic Algorithm with a Cross Entropy method to optimize Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems, and literature techniques is presented. These techniques are applied to traffic congestion datasets in order to determine [...]Abstract
International audience To sustain the rapidly increasing air traffic demand, the future air traffic management system will rely on a concept, called Trajectory-Based Operations (TBO), that will require aircraft to follow an assigned 4D trajectory (time-constrained trajectory) with [...]Abstract
We address the logical topology design problem (LTD) in WDM transport networks under static traffic assumptions. We start with one of the standard MILP formulations of the LTD problem that aims at optimizing the network congestion. We propose an improvement to this model that additionally [...]Abstract
Modern communication networks offer advance and diverse applications, which require huge usage of network resources while providing quality of services to the users. Advance communication is based on multiple switched networks that cannot be handle by traditional IP (internet protocol) [...]Abstract
Graph theory has become a hot topic in the past two decades as evidenced by the increasing number of citations in research. Its applications are found in many fields, e.g. database, clustering, routing, etc. In this thesis, two novel graph-based algorithms are presented. The first [...]Abstract
The typical voyage of a barge transporting maritime containers inland, consists of visiting a set of terminals where loading/unloading operations occur. The required stowage plans must meet stability requirements during all transport phases and avoid costly re-handling operations. [...]Abstract
To sustain the continuously increasing air traffic demand, the future air traffic management system will rely on a so-called Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) concept that will increase air traffic capacity by reducing the controller's workload. This will be achieved by transferring [...]
