Integrated Healthcare Services for Ageing in Place

This study investigates how healthcare practitioners handle significant circumstancesof providing medical assistance and treatments to patients and what challenges theyface. Drawing on key healthcare stakeholders and mixed smart living methods, wedevelop a guideline service protocol for Internet of Things (IoT) solution to helphealthcare stakeholders in coping with operational difficulties. IoT technology is one ofthe key determinants that empowers healthcare professionals to achieve their tasks,and our goal is to study the functions that provides to local citizens, especially olderpeople, and to evaluate how the functions and platform could assist corporatecompliance policies to increase the efficiency of healthcare service. Our fieldexperiments have indicated a need to educate healthcare users about IoT applicationthat provide advantages in decision making. In addition, our research has explored andevaluated the impacts and factors that influence the development and collaboration byallowing workflows of healthcare stakeholders and by following integrated smart livingplatform and required service protocol.

Minimality of SRPT Networks With Resource Sharing

A general multi-resource network with users requiring service from a number of shared resources simultaneously is considered. It is demonstrated that the Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) service protocol minimizes, in a suitable sense, the system resource idleness with respect to customers with residual service times not greater than any threshold value on every network route. Our arguments are pathwise, with no assumptions on the model stochastic primitives and the network topology.

On stabilizability of fluid multi-server polling systems with setups

A time-invariant fluid model of a polling system is considered. It consists of finitely many servers and buffers with unlimited sizes. The buffers receive inflows of work from the outside, work leaves the system after processing by a server. Every server works only with buffers from an associated zone of service, which may overlap for various servers, is able to serve at most one buffer at a time and so has to switch, from time to time, among buffers, the switch-over times are nonzero. We present a criterion for existence of a scheduling and service protocol that makes the system stable in the sense that the total amount of work in the buffers remains bounded as time progresses. The necessity part of this result is concerned with the widest class of protocols, including dynamic ones that are centralized and have access to the full information about the events in the system. Meanwhile, we show that every stabilizable system can be stabilized in a fully decentralized fashion via a simple static protocol, e.g., by a protocol that is based on independent round robin scheduling of the servers and for every server, employs only time measurement.
