The min-SHIFT DESIGN problem (MSD) is an important scheduling problem that needs to be solved in many industrial contexts. The issue is to find a minimum number of shifts and the...
In this paper, we consider a variation of the Euclidean Steiner Tree Problem in which the space underlying the set of nodes has a specified non-uniform cost structure. This proble...
— Although there is a trend in reducing the number of layers in core and metropolitan area networks, still the optimal design of multi-layer networks (like IP over WDM) remains a...
— In this paper we demonstrate that our ability to match the EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) function of an Irregular Variable Length Code (IrVLC) to that of a seriallyconc...
Network topology design problems find application in several real life scenarios. However, most designs in the past either optimize for a single criterion like delay or assume sim...
