Abstract. Computing tight performance bounds in feed-forward networks under general assumptions about arrival and server models has turned out to be a challenging problem. Recently...
This paper presents a review of advances in the mathematical programming approach to discrete/continuous optimization problems. We first present a brief review of MILP and MINLP f...
Abstract. In this paper, we define the routing overhead as the amount of information needed to describe the changes in a network topology. We derive a universal lower bound on the...
We survey logic-based and automata-based languages and techniques for the speci cation and veri cation of real-time systems. In particular, we discuss three syntactic extensions of...
Abstract. We consider in this paper the problem of discovering, via a traceroute algorithm, the topology of a network, whose graph is spanned by an infinite branching process. A s...
