Thermal-aware Workload Distribution for Data Centers with Demand Variations
Somayye Rostami, Douglas G. Down, George Karakostas
Thermal-aware workload distribution is a common approach in the literature for power consumption optimization in data centers. However, data centers also have other operational cos…
Linearized Data Center Workload and Cooling Management
Somayye Rostami, Douglas G. Down, George Karakostas
With the current high levels of energy consumption of data centers, reducing power consumption by even a small percentage is beneficial. We propose a framework for thermal-aware wo…
Data-driven Fair Resource Allocation For Novel Emerging Epidemics: A COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Case Study
Maryam Akbari-Moghaddam, Na Li, Douglas G. Down +4
Epidemics are a serious public health threat, and the resources for mitigating their effects are typically limited. Decision-makers face challenges in forecasting the supply and de…
Demand Forecasting for Platelet Usage: from Univariate Time Series to Multivariate Models
Maryam Motamedi, Jessica Dawson, Na Li +2
Platelet products are both expensive and have very short shelf lives. As usage rates for platelets are highly variable, the effective management of platelet demand and supply is ve…
SEH: Size Estimate Hedging for Single-Server Queues
Maryam Akbari-Moghaddam, Douglas G. Down
For a single server system, Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) is an optimal size-based policy. In this paper, we discuss scheduling a single-server system when exact inform…
A decision integration strategy for short-term demand forecasting and ordering for red blood cell components
Na Li, Fei Chiang, Douglas G. Down +1
Blood transfusion is one of the most crucial and commonly administered therapeutics worldwide. The need for more accurate and efficient ways to manage blood demand and supply is an…
Autocorrelation Function Characterization of Continuous Time Markov Chains
G. Rama Murthy, Douglas G. Down
We study certain properties of the function space of autocorrelation functions of Unit Continuous Time Markov Chains (CTMCs). It is shown that under particular conditions, the $L^p…
Delays at signalised intersections with exhaustive traffic control
Marko Boon, Ivo Adan, Erik Winands +1
In this paper we study a traffic intersection with vehicle-actuated traffic signal control. Traffic lights stay green until all lanes within a group are emptied. Assuming general r…
