Mechanism design has found considerable application to the construction of agent-interaction protocols. In the standard setting, the type (e.g., utility function) of an agent is n...
We study a problem where wireless service providers compete for heterogenous and atomic (non-infinitesimal) wireless users. The users differ in their utility functions as well as ...
We consider two automatic repeat request (ARQ) schemes based on subcarrier assignment in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based systems: single ARQ subcarrier assi...
This paper discusses our experience in building SPIRE, an autonomic system for service provision. The architecture consists of a set of hosted Web Services subject to QoS constrain...
Abstract. Parallel processing is based on utilizing a group of processors to efficiently solve large problems faster than is possible on a single processor. To accomplish this, the...
