—With the advent of the Internet, we have entered the age of ubiquitous systems that will need to be able to communicate, establish criteria for measurement and then perform thes...
Abstract—Packet scheduling disciplines play an important role in providing Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to applications traffic in high speed networks. Several scheduling...
—Many important network design problems can be formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem. A large number of such problems, however, cannot readily be tackled by distribu...
