We study a stochastic network that consists of a set of servers processing multiple classes of jobs. Each class of jobs requires a concurrent occupancy of several servers while be...
We study a stochastic network that consists of two servers shared by two classes of jobs. Class 1 jobs require a concurrent occupancy of both servers while class 2 jobs use one se...
—The implementation of distributed network utility maximization (NUM) algorithms hinges heavily on information feedback through message passing among network elements. In practic...
Models for the processes by which ideas and influence propagate through a social network have been studied in a number of domains, including the diffusion of medical and technolog...
