Hospital staff and resources allocation (HSRA) is a critical challenge in healthcare systems,
as it involves balancing the demands of patients, the availability of resources, and the need …

The key feature of future mobile communication systems is the ability to deliver wideband
and high bit-rate multimedia services alongside the traditional radio services such as voice …

Today, as a consequence of the growing installation of efficient technologies, eg micro-
combined heat and power (micro-CHP), the integration of traditionally separated electricity …

We present a new approach to simulated annealing and a new hierarchical algorithm for
row-based placement which has obtained the best results ever reported for a large set of …

In this paper, an innovative mechanism to perform joint radio resource management (JRRM)
in the context of heterogeneous radio access networks is introduced. In particular, a fuzzy …

In the next generation of heterogeneous wireless networks (HWNs), a large number of
different radio access technologies (RATs) will be integrated into a common network. In this …

Due to the coexistence of different Radio Access Technologies (RATs), Next Generation
Wireless Networks (NGWN) are predicted to be heterogeneous in nature. The coexistence of …

The hybrid algorithm for real-time vertical handover using different objective functions has
been presented to find the optimal network to connect with a good quality of service in …

By 2020, if not before, mobile computing and wireless systems are expected to enter the fifth
generation (5G), which promises evolutionary if not revolutionary services. What those …

The realization of a user-centric paradigm will revolutionize future wireless networks. For this
innovative concept to materialize, a paradigm shift is required from a long-term contractual …
