Packet switch is a key component in high speed digital networks. This paper investigates congestion phenomena in the packet switching with input buffers. For large value of switch size N, mathematical models have been developed to analyze asymptotic maximum switch throughput under nonuniform traffic. Simulation study has also been done for small values of finite N. The rapid convergence of the switch performance with finite switch size to asymptotic solutions implies that asymptotic analytical solutions approximate very closely to maximum throughputs for reasonably large but finite N. Numerical examples show that non-uniformity in traffic pattern could result in serious degradation in packet switch performance, while the maximum switch throughput is 0.586 when the traffic load is uniform over the output trunks. Window scheduling policy seems to work only when the traffic is relatively uniformly distributed. As traffic non-uniformity increases, the effect of window size on throughput is getting mediocre.

A tandem queue that consists of nodes with buffers of finite capacity and general blocking scheme is considered. The service time distribution of each node is exponential whose rate depends on the state of the node. The blocking scheme at a node may be different from that of other nodes. An approximation method for the system based on decomposition method is presented. The effectiveness of the method is investigated numerically.

In this paper, we present a new heuristic algorithm fur buffer allocation in FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System). It is conducted by using a genetic algorithm and simulation. First, we model the system by using a simulation software, \"Arena\". Then, we apply a genetic algorithm to achieve an optimal solution. VBA blocks, which are kinds of add-in functions in Arena, are used to connect Arena with the genetic algorithm. The system being modeled has seven workstations, one loading/unloading station, and three AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicle). Also it contains three products, which each have their own machining order and processing times. We experimented with two kinds of buffer allocation problems with a proposed heuristic algorithm, and we will suggest a simple heuristic approach based on processing times and workloads to validate our proposed algorithm. The first experiment is to find a buffer profile to achieve the maximum throughput using a finite number of buffers. The second experiment is to find the minimum number of buffers to achieve the desired throughput. End of this paper, we compare the result of a proposed algorithm with the result of a simple buffer allocation heuristic based on processing times and workloads. We show that the proposed algorithm increase the throughput by 7.2%.t by 7.2%.

Calcium is well known role for signal transduction in a neuron cell. Various processes and parameters modulate the intracellular calcium signaling process. A number of experimental and theoretical attempts are reported in the literature for study of calcium signaling in neuron cells. But still the role of various processes, components and parameters involved in calcium signaling is still not well understood. In this paper an attempt has been made to develop two dimensional finite element model to study calcium diffusion in neuron cells. The JRyR, JSERCA and JLeak, the exogenous buffers like EGTA and BAPTA, and diffusion coefficients have been incorporated in the model. Appropriate boundary conditions have been framed. Triangular ring elements have been employed to discretized the region. The effect of these parameters on calcium diffusion has been studied with the help of numerical results.

We analyze $MAP_1,\;MAP_2$/G/1 finite queues with service scheduling function dependent upon queue lengths. The customers are classified into two types. The arrivals of customers are assumed to be the Markovian Arrival Processes (MAPs). The service order of customers in each buffer is determined by a service scheduling function dependent upon queue lengths. Methods of embedded Markov chain and supplementary variable give us information for queue length of two buffers. Finally, the performance measures such as loss probability and mean waiting time are derived. Some numerical examples also are given with applications in telecommunication networks.

Cognitive Radio(CR) is the technology that allocates the frequency by using dynamic spectrum access. We proposed a model to calculate the optimal level of the cognitive radiotelegraph, where secondary users opportunistically share the spectrum with primary users through the spectrum sensing. When secondary user with cognitive radio detects the arrival of a primary user in its current channel, the secondary user moves to the idle channel or be placed in the virtual queue. We assume that the primary users have finite buffers and the population of secondary users is finite. Using a two-dimensional Makov model with preemptive priority queueing, we could derive the blocking and waiting probability as well as the optimal level of cognitive radiotelegraph under a various range of parameter circumstances.

In this study, we consider stationary waiting times in a Poisson driven single-server m-node queues in series. We assume that service times at nodes are independent, and are either deterministic or non-overlapped. Each node excluding the first node has a finite waiting line and every node is operated under a FIFO service discipline and a communication blocking policy (blocking before service). By applying (max, +)-algebra to a corresponding stochastic event graph, a special case of timed Petri nets, we derive the explicit expressions for stationary waiting times at all areas, which are functions of finite buffer capacities. These expressions allow us to compute the performance measures of interest such as mean, higher moments, or tail probability of waiting time. Moreover, as applications of these results, we introduce optimization problems which determine either the biggest arrival rate or the smallest buffer capacities satisfying probabilistic constraints on waiting times. These results can be also applied to bounds of waiting times in more general systems. Numerical examples are also provided.

실시간 영상신호압축에서 일정 분량의 신호를 저장한 후 다른 순서로 읽어내는 과정은 간단하지만 JPEG, MPEG1/2/4, H.264, HEVC 등의 거의 모든 표준에서 필수적으로 사용하고 있는 중요한 과정이다. 실시간 처리가 중요하기 때문에 지금까지는 필요한 영상 블럭 크기의 메모리를 두 개 이용하여 동시에 번갈아 가며 읽고 쓰는 이중 버퍼링 방법을 사용하였다. 예외적으로 2D DCT에서의 전치버퍼의 경우는 입출력 순서가 단순하기 때문에 단일 버퍼링을 이용하여 입출력 순서의 변환이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 불규칙한 임의의 입출력 순서에서도 유한한 횟수 안에 규칙적 형태의 입출력 순서열이 반복됨을 보이고, 그것을 이용하여 단일 메모리를 사용하는 효율적인 실시간 메모리 입출력 기법을 구현하였다.

We deal with a design problem of assembly/disassembly (AD) systems with finite buffer capacities where the times between failures, the times to repair, and the processing times are exponentially distributed with different parameter values. We present a solution procedure for finding the minimum cost configuration which achieves a desired throughput rate for an AD system. The configuration is defined by the types of machines to be used and capacities of buffers in the AD system. Results of computational experiments on randomly generated test problems show that the proposed heuristics give relatively good configurations in a reasonable amount of time.

This paper presents a decomposition method to evaluate the performance measures of transfer line with unreliable machine and finite buffers. The proposed method is to decompose the transfer fine into a set of two machine lines for analysis. Nonhomogeneous lines are considered. In such fines, the machines may take the different lengths of time performing operations on parts. A simple transformation is employed in order to replace the line by a homogeneous line. The approximate transformation enables one to determine parameters of performance such as production rate and average buffer levels, and it also shows better applications for a large class of systems.
