— Recent studies have shown that designing a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol combined with a cooperative approach may improve the attainable network throughput, despite redu...
Abstract—We consider an interference-limited wireless network, where multiple source-destination pairs compete for the same pool of relay nodes. In an attempt to maximize the sum...
Clustered applications in storage area networks (SANs), widely adopted in enterprise datacenters, have traditionally relied on distributed locking protocols to coordinate concurre...
In various applications, the effect of errors in gradient-based iterations is of particular importance when seeking saddle points of the Lagrangian function associated with constra...
: This paper addresses the dynamic pricing problem of a single-item, make-to-stock production system. Demand arrives according to Poisson processes with changeable arrival rate dep...
