The study of networked systems is an emerging field, impacting almost every area of engineering and science, including the important domains of communication systems, biology, soc...
We consider adding k shortcut edges (i.e. edges of small fixed length δ ≥ 0) to a graph so as to minimize the weighted average shortest path distance over all pairs of vertices...
Let G = (V, E) be an undirected graph, with three numbers d0(e) ≥ d1(e) ≥ d2(e) ≥ 0 for each edge e ∈ E. A solution is a subset U ⊆ V and di(e) represents the cost contr...
We define the k-path tree matroid, and use it to solve network design problems in which the required connectivity is arbitrary for a given pair of nodes, and 1 for the other pairs...
The number of applications with many parallel cooperating processes is steadily increasing, and developing efficient runtimes for their execution is an important task. Several fram...
