The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...
Abstract—We investigate the problem of providing a fair bandwidth allocation to each of flows that share the outgoing link of a congested router. The buffer at the outgoing link...
The assignment problem originally arising from parallel and distributed computing has been investigated intensively since the 70’s when Harold Stone proposed a method to solve i...
— We address the problem of connection preemption in a multi-class network environment. Our objective is: i) to minimize the number of preempted connections, and ii) to minimize ...
Abstract. In this paper, motivated by applications of ordinary (distance) spanners in communication networks and to address such issues as bandwidth constraints on network links, l...
