Parking occupancy is difficult in most modern cities because of increases in the accessibility and use of motor vehicles, and users generally take several minutes or even hours to find a place to park. In this work, we propose a smart parking prediction model in order to help users locate in advance the availability of parking near the places they...

Background: Efficient inventory management is critical for sustainability in supply chains. However, maintaining adequate inventory levels becomes challenging in the face of unpredictable demand patterns. Furthermore, the need to disseminate demand-related information throughout a company often relies on cloud services. However, this method sometim...

Brain-computer interfaces use signals from the brain, such as EEG, to determine brain states, which in turn can be used to issue commands, for example, to control industrial machinery. While Cloud computing can aid in the creation and operation of industrial multi-user BCI systems, the vast amount of data generated from EEG signals can lead to slow...

Network flow problems form an important and much-studied family of combinatorial optimisation problems, with a huge array of practical applications.

In this research, we present a data recovery scheme for wireless sensor networks. In some sensor networks, each node must be able to recover the complete information of the network, which leads to the problem of the high cost of energy in communication and storage of information. We proposed a modified gossip algorithm for acquire distributed measu...

The detection and transmission of a physical variable over time, by a node of a sensor network to its sink node, represents a significant communication overload and consequently one of the main energy consumption processes. In this article we present an algorithm for the prediction of time series, with which it is expected to reduce the energy cons...

Introduction According to Van der Lungt and De Langen (2005), the evolution of logistics concepts does not correspond exactly with periods in time, instead they center on the evolution of firms. They identify three stages of evolution of firms: 1) when firms focus on market expansion, 2) when firms then focus on logistics efficiency and finally 3)...
