SETTING: In the Cape Town suburbs of Ravensmead and Uitsig, tuberculosis has reached epidemic levels, with notifications of 1340/100 000 in 1996. These suburbs are characterised by overcrowding, high unemployment and poverty. It is traditionally believed that tuberculosis transmission takes...

Active queue management (AQM) is an effective method used in Internet routers for congestion control, and to achieve a trade off between link utilization and delay. The de facto standard, the random early detection (RED) AQM scheme, and most of its variants use average queue length as a...

We consider multi-stage stochastic fluid models (SFMs), driven by applications in telecommunications and manufacturing in which control of the behavior of the system during congestion may be required. In a two-stage SFM, the process starts from Stage 1 in level 0, and moves to Stage 2 when...

Models for the behavior of ants and pedestrians are studied in a unified way in this paper. Each ant follows pheromone … put by preceding ants, hence creating a trail on the ground, while pedestrians also try to follow others in a crowd for … average speed of the ants on their density, which can be well analyzed by the zero-range process. We also show that this …

During the last years the problem of network selection in wireless heterogeneous systems has attracted a lot of attention. Expecting that next generation mobile devices will allow connections to different types of networks, it is interesting to investigate the outcome of selfish behavior in that...

We address the problem of message transfer in complex networks with congestion. We propose a new strategy aimed at improving routing efficiency. Such a strategy, contrary to the shortest available path length from a given source to its destination (perhaps the most widely analyzed routing...
