Many combinatorial optimization problems such as the bin packing and multiple knapsack problems involve assigning a set of discrete objects to multiple containers. These problems ...
—This paper provides analytical expressions to evaluate the performance of a random access wireless network in terms of user throughput and network throughput, subject to the con...
—In 3G data networks, network operators would like to balance system throughput while serving users in a fair manner. This is achieved using the notion of proportional fairness. ...
Managing an industrial production facility requires carefully allocating limited resources, and gives rise to large, potentially complicated scheduling problems. In this paper we c...
