Modern communication networks require routing protocols that can adapt to dynamic traffic conditions while accounting for topology-based structural risk. Conventional open shortest path first (OSPF) relies on static or linear link cost metrics, which...
The energy-optimal routing of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the context of parcel delivery is more complicated than for conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, in which the total travel distance is the most critical metric. The total ene...
Safe and sample-conscious controller synthesis for nonlinear dynamics benefits from reinforcement learning that exploits an explicit plant model. A nonlinear mass–spring–damper with hardening effects and hard stops is studied, and off-pla...
Microservice deployment and request routing can help improve server efficiency and the performance of large-scale mobile edge computing (MEC). However, the joint optimization of microservice deployment and request routing is extremely challenging, as...
Asymmetry is a prevalent phenomenon in low-power and lossy networks (LLNs) due to resource constraints and unstable links. The routing protocol for the low power and lossy network (RPL), standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is...
As nuclear energy expands, nuclear emergency response systems increasingly exhibit strong human–machine–environment (H–M–E) coupling, long-duration operations, and multi-department coordination, in which minor disturbances can...
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure in public transport microenvironments has important implications for commuter health, yet concentration-based assessments may not adequately reflect the dose actually inhaled by passengers. This study quantifi...
Extensive but remote oil and gas fields in Canada and Russia require extremely long pipelines. Global warming and local anthropogenic effects drive the deepening of seasonal thawing of cryolithozone soils and enhance pathological processes such as fr...
Tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) has emerged as a versatile material at the intersection of optical coatings and integrated photonics because it combines a high refractive index, a wide bandgap, low optical loss, and compatibility with multiple thin-film d...
Ammonia is increasingly regarded as a carbon-free energy carrier for hard-to-electrify power sectors, including marine propulsion, heavy-duty transport, and distributed generation. Its direct use in internal combustion engines, however, is constraine...
Autonomous parking is one of the most demanding manoeuvres a vehicle can be asked to perform. The available space is small, the margins for error are narrow, and the vehicle must achieve an exact final pose while respecting non-holonomic constraints....
