— In this paper, we concentrate on opportunistic scheduling for multicast information. We pose the problem as a multicast throughput optimization problem. As a solution we presen...
This paper addresses decentralized multi-project scheduling under uncertainty. The problem instance we study is the scheduling of airport ground handling services, where aircraft ...
Convergecast is a fundamental operation in wireless sensor networks. Existing convergecast solutions have focused on reducing latency and energy consumption. However, a good desig...
