In low-density areas where travel pattern is widely dispersed and travel demand is relatively low, transit operators find it very difficult to provide a reasonable level of service at a reasonable cost. Timed-transfer system or network, if designed properly, can provide a reasonable level of service for passengers using transit systems serving low-density areas. The paper intends to apply a timed-transfer system for bus lines serving Yangsan City area and to assess the effects resulted from the application. The concept of a timed-transfer network/system is briefly described, and the present conditions of bus systems in Yangsan City area are discussed, focusing on the aspects of network type and the related problems. The bus timed-transfer network for the area is then developed by adjusting the existing routes and network with the consideration of travel time, route alignments, headways and transfer centers. One must note that developing a timed-transfer network presumes that network and schedule should be developed together. The effects of the developed time-transfer system on the passengers and operators are found substantially so as to justify its introduction to the City. The results of this study will be of considerable use for planners to design the transit systems in low density areas, where in general travel activities are widely dispersed and travel demands are low, so that provision of good quality of transit services are difficult.

In this paper an effort is made to develop an innovative spatial arrangement concept pertaining to ship building industry. The spatial scheduling is the problem that concentrates on effective planning of available space and arrangements of blocks and in a priority manner. In order to create an effective spatial scheduling. a database providing the priority has to be available to make the erection sequence. Such a system works hand in hand with erection sequence generator program The erection sequence program works on the conventional network analysis method which uses a typical parent-children idea for the calculation of the ENT(possible earliest network start time) and LNT(possible latest network start time). This program works in a cyclic manner taking turns by calculating the ENT in upward trace and LNT on the return trace thereby generating the entire erection sequence diagram for the requisite problem The generated database serves as an input data for spatial scheduling problem. When the system works it takes into consideration the entire system based on heuristic concepts as mentioned. There system uses the spatial aspects such as the available area of the P. E area and plan area of the corresponding blocks and its priority of erection from the erection sequence generator program develops the spatial scheduling arrangement. In this paper using all these concepts an innovative spatial schedule development system developed.

경성 실시간 시스템의 태스크들은 논리적으로 올바른 결과를 산출해야 하지만 또한 각자의 시간 제한 조건을 만족하여야 한다. 간격제한 스케줄링은 시간 제한 조건이 시간 간격 제한으로 주어지는 실시간 태스크들을 스케줄하기 위하여 도입되었다. 간격제한 스케줄링에서의 각 태스크들은 시간 간격 제한 조건을 갖는데, 이것은 태스크의 두 연속적인 수행의 종료시간에 대해 제한을 가한다. 다시 말해, 간격제한 스케줄링에서의 각 태스크 수행은 그 태스크의 직전 수행 완료 시간으로부터 발생하는 데드라인을 갖는다. 간격제한 태스크 스케줄링에 관한 많은 연구는 단순화 방법에 기초하고 있다. 그러나, 우리는 이 논문에서 단순화 방법을 사용하지 않고, 정적 우선순위 및 정적 분리 제한 정책을 채용한 새로운 간격제한 태스크 스케줄링 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 정적 할당 방법은 스케줄링 분석 및 구현을 매우 간단히 할 수 있으며, 또한 스케줄러의 실행시간 오버헤드를 줄일 수 있다.Abstract Tasks in hard real-time systems must not only be logically correct but also meet their timing constraints. The distance-constrained scheduling has been introduced to schedule real-time tasks whose timing constraints are characterized by temporal distance constraints. Each task in the distance-constrained scheduling has a temporal distance constraint which imposes restriction on the finishing times of two consecutive executions of the task. Thus, each execution of a task in the distance-constrained scheduling has a deadline relative to the finishing time of the previous execution of the task.Much work on the distance-constrained task scheduling has been based on the reduction technique. In this paper, we propose a new scheme for the distance-constrained task scheduling which does not use the reduction technique but adopts static priority and static separation constraint assignment policy. We show that our static assignment approach can simplify the scheduling analysis and its implementation, and can also reduce the run-time overhead of the scheduler.

This paper proposes and analyzes a message scheduling scheme and corresponding bandwidth allocation method for the hard real-time communication on dual standard 802.11 Wireless LANs. By making the superframeof one network precede that of the other by half, the dual network architecture can minimize the effect of deferred beacon and reduce the worst case waiting timeby half. The effect of deferred beacon is formalized and directly considered to decide the polling schedule of PCF phase. Simulation results executed via ns-2 show that the proposed scheme can improve the schedulability by 3$36\%$ for real-time messages and give $9\%$ more bandwidth to non-real-time messages for the given stream sets, compared with the network whose bandwidth is just doubled with the same MAC.

Multicast group communication has many advantages in data centers and thus is widely used by many applications. It can efficiently reduce the network traffic and improve the application throughput. For the multicast application in data centers, an essential problem is how to find a minimal multicast tree, which has been proved to be NP-hard. In this paper, we propose an approximation tree-building method for the minimal multicast problem, named HD（Hamming Distance）-based multicast tree. Consider that many new network structures have been proposed for data centers. We choose three representative ones, including BCube, FBFLY, and HyperX, whose topological structures can be regarded as the generalized hypercube. Given a multicast group in BCube, the HD-based method can jointly schedule the path from each of receiver to the only sender among multiple disjoint paths; hence, it can quickly construct an efficient multicast tree with the low cost. The experimental results demonstrate that our method consumes less time to construct an efficient multicast tree, while considerably reduces the cost of the multicast tree compared to the representative methods. Our approach for BCube can also be adapted to other generalized hypercube network structures for data centers after minimal modifications.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to optimize the movement of mobile sink node, called AMSP(Adaptive Mobile Sink Path) for mobile sensor network environments. Currently available studies usually suffer from unnecessary data transmission resulting from random way point approach. To address the problem, we propose a method which uses the Hilbert curve to create a path. The proposed method guarantees shorten transmission distance between the sink node and each sensor node by assigning orders of the curve according to sensor node density. Furthermore, The schedule of the sink node is informed to all of the sensing nodes so that the Duty Cycle helps the network be more energy efficient. In our experiments, the proposed method outperforms the existing works such as TTDD and CBPER by up to 80% in energy consumption.

A reasonable process for the activity duration estimation is required for the successful construction management because it directly affects the entire construction duration and budget. However, the activity duration is being generally estimated by the experience of the construction manager. This study suggests an estimation model of construction activity duration using neural network theory. This model estimates the activity duration by considering both the quantitative and qualitative elements, and the model is verified by a case study. Because the suggested model estimates the activity duration by a reasonable schedule plan, it is expected to reduce the error between planning duration and actual duration in a construction project.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new transit assignment model for intercity rail networks. The characteristics of intercity rail are different from that of public transit in urban area. Line selection probability on route section is introduced to include the characteristics of intercity rail into transit assignment model. Network expansion is more simplified by a assumption line selection probability is externally given. The generalized cost is used to decide the volume of each transit line in most of existing transit assignment models. But, many variables have influence on the volume of each line such as time schedule of transit lines, inter-station distance, passengers' income, seasonal variation of demand and regional characteristics. The influence of these variables can be considered to decide the volume of each line by introducing line selection probability on route section. The tests on a small scale network show that the model proposed in this paper is superior to existing models for predicting intercity rail demand. Proposed model is suitable to consider the complicated fare structure of intercity rail and to draw inter-station demand directly as a result of assignment procedure.

The train conflict resolution problem refers to an adjustment of the train operation schedule in order to minimize the delay propagation when a train conflict is predicted or when a train conflict occurs. Previous train studies of train conflict resolutions are limited in terms of the size of the problems to be solved due to exponential increases in the variables. In this paper, we propose a train conflict resolution model using a time-space network to solve the train conflict situation in the operational phase. The proposed model adjusts the size of the problem by giving only the dwell tolerance in the time-space network only for stops at the station after a train conflict. In addition, the proposed model can solve large problems using a path flow variable. The study presents a train delay propagation analysis and experimental results of train conflict resolution assessments as well using the proposed model.

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is at the forefront of present and future research activities. The huge amount of sensing data from IoT devices needing to be processed is increasing dramatically in volume, variety, and velocity. In response, cloud computing was involved in handling the challenges of collecting, storing, and processing jobs. The fog computing technology is a model that is used to support cloud computing by implementing pre-processing jobs close to the end-user for realizing low latency, less power consumption in the cloud side, and high scalability. However, it may be that some resources in fog computing networks are not suitable for some kind of jobs, or the number of requests increases outside capacity. So, it is more efficient to decrease sending jobs to the cloud. Hence some other fog resources are idle, and it is better to be federated rather than forwarding them to the cloud server. Obviously, this issue affects the performance of the fog environment when dealing with big data applications or applications that are sensitive to time processing. This research aims to build a fog topology job scheduling (FTJS) to schedule the incoming jobs which are generated from the IoT devices and discover all available fog nodes with their capabilities. Also, the fog topology job placement algorithm is introduced to deploy jobs into appropriate resources in the network effectively. Finally, by comparing our result with the state-of-art first come first serve (FCFS) scheduling technique, the overall execution time is reduced significantly by approximately 20%, the energy consumption in the cloud side is reduced by 18%.
