— In this paper we develop a new dual decomposition method for optimizing a sum of convex objective functions corresponding to multiple agents but with coupled constraints. In ou...
Abstract— In this paper, we address the problem of providing traffic quality of service and energy efficiency in ad hoc wireless networks. We consider a network that is shared ...
In the Stochastic Orienteering problem, we are given a metric, where each node also has a job located there with some deterministic reward and a random size. (Think of the jobs as...
Integrating volatile renewable energy resources into the bulk power grid is challenging, due to the reliability requirement that at each instant the load and generation in the syst...
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimizing the lifetime of a mobile ad hoc network at a given degree k of connectivity by minimizing power consumption. Our p...
