Abstract—Network applications often require large data storage resources, fast queries, and frequent updates. Hash tables support these operations with low costs, yet they cannot...
— We consider fair allocation of sessions at the outputs of optical cross-connects employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Each session consists of traffic on one or m...
Replicating data objects onto servers across a system can alleviate access delays. The selection of data objects and servers requires solving a constraint optimization problem, wh...
— Y -interconnects for VLSI chips are based on the use of global and semi-global wiring in only 0◦ , 60◦ , and 120◦ . Though X-interconnects are fast replacing the traditio...
When facing dynamic optimization problems the goal is no longer to find the extrema, but to track their progression through the space as closely as possible. Over these kind of ov...
