Recent trends in automotive manufacturing have increased the focus on the Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery of automotive components. By requiring smaller batches of parts delivered mor...
The dynamics and throughput of a bucket brigade production system is studied when workersÕ speeds increase due to learning. It is shown that, if the rules of the bucket brigade s...
—This paper concerns the problem of finding the minimum-length TDMA frame of a power-controlled wireless network subject to traffic demands and SINR (signalto-interference-plus...
We present a multi-agent coordination technique to maintain throughput of a large-scale agent network system in the face of failures of agents. Failures do not just deteriorate th...
— This paper studies TCP performance over multihop wireless networks that use the IEEE 802.11 protocol as the access method. Our analysis and simulations show that, given a speci...
