Flow-based Networking and Quality of Service

During the past two decades the Internet has been widely deployed and integrated into the society, radically altering the way people communicate and exchange information. Although the Internet was intended as a research network between few a institutions in the United States, it has grown to take a central role in day-to-day communications and...

How Can Procurement Contribute to Network Performance? Streamlining Network, Project and Procurement Objectives

The core business of governmental organizations like Rijkswaterstaat in the Netherlands is the optimal management of road-end waterway networks. The coming years many maintenance, renewal and extension projects will be executed in these networks. Projects give a disturbance in functionality of the network. Network management is to keep this...

Improving the road network performance with dynamic route guidance by considering the indifference band of road users

When applying dynamic route guidance to improve the network performance, it is important to balance the interests of the road authorities and the road users. In this paper we will illustrate how bounded rationality and indifference bands can be taken into account in dynamic route guidance to improve the network performance while respecting the...

A Study on the network performance of the road traffic system on airside at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Schiphol is growing. The growing number of aircrafts will lead to more handling services, like baggage handling, catering etc. These handling vehicles use the network system on airside. At the moment, no facts were presented about the performance of these network. Are there too many vehicles on airside? Or not? That is the focus of this research...

The effect of inaccurate traffic data for ramp metering: Comparing loop detectors and cameras using information utility

This paper introduces a topic which is of growing interest in the traffic control and management community, namely the relation between traffic data quality and the efficiency of traffic management. After some explanatory background and state of the art, it will become clear that no standard approach is available for traffic engineers to...

Designing virus-resistant, high-performance networks: A game-formation approach

Designing an optimal network topology while balancing multiple, possibly conflicting objectives like cost, performance, and resiliency to viruses is a challenging endeavor, let alone in the case of decentralized network formation. We therefore propose a game-formation technique where each player aims to minimize its cost in installing links,...

A framework for the impact assessment of low discharges on the performance of inland waterway transport

Inland waterway transport (IWT) is one of the three main modalities for inland transport of dry, liquid and containerized cargo. As IWT performs well on cost-competitiveness, environmental friendliness, and congestion-related issues, authorities strive to shift freight transport from road to water. Inland waterway connections, however, are...

Examining the spatiotemporal changing pattern of freight maritime transport networks in Indonesia during COVID-19 outbreaks

The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has led to a significant change in human mobility. It is also considered the most serious threat to the inter-island trade network since the economic crisis in 1998. Leveraging two-year historical port call data (covering 6,000 records in total) of Indonesian domestic cargo vessels from the Automatic...

Characterizing the spatio-temporal qubit traffic of a quantum intranet aiming at modular quantum computer architectures

Quantum many-core processors are envisioned as the ultimate solution for the scalability of quantum computers. Based upon Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) chips interconnected in a sort of quantum intranet, they enable large algorithms to be executed on current and close future technology. In order to optimize such architectures, it is...

Do network management and trust matter for network outcomes? A meta-analysis and research agenda

Collaborative and network governance assume that network management and trust matter for network outcomes. We test this assumption by conducting a meta-analysis of public administration studies investigating the correlation between network management and network outcomes (50 effect sizes), and trust and network outcomes (28 effect sizes)....

Exploring Artificial Intelligence for Advancing Performance Processes and Events in Io3MT

The Internet of Multisensory, Multimedia and Musical Things (Io3MT) is a new concept that arises from the confluence of several areas of computer science, arts, and humanities, with the objective of grouping in a single place devices and data that explore the five human senses, besides multimedia aspects and music content. In the context of...
