Productivity improvement for smart manufacturing systems by Sundararaman Manoj

“…On considering the improvements in manufacturing a product, this project aims to focus on developing a fundamental study that compares the infinite buffer and finite buffer settings for a production line and an assembly line. In an assembly line, queue ratio concept is introduced, that states, the parts from the upstream station is sent to two or more downstream stations for processing based on smallest queue ratio between two downstream stations. …”

Multi-description multipath video streaming in wireless ad hoc networks by Xu, Yuanyuan., Zhu, Ce.

“…A heuristic solution of low complexity is developed for the interference-aware multipath routing, by introducing a path metric taking into account intra-flow interference, inter-flow interference, link bandwidth and link “up” probability. The second problem touches on unbalanced-path based joint MD video coding and packet allocation for multiple paths of varying bandwidth and loss probabilities. …”
