In this paper, we address an optimization problem that arises in the context of cache placement in sensor networks. In particular, we consider the cache placement problem where th...
DPOP is an algorithm for distributed constraint optimization which has, as main drawback, the exponential size of some of its messages. Recently, some algorithms for distributed c...
We show that for even quasi-concave objective functions the worst-case distribution, with respect to a family of unimodal distributions, of a stochastic programming problem is a u...
—In a sensor network, in practice, the communication among sensors is subject to: 1) errors that can cause failures of links among sensors at random times; 2) costs; and 3) const...
The problem of optimal allocation of monitoring resources for tracking transactions progressing through a distributed system, modeled as a queueing network, is considered. Two for...
