— In this paper we show that significant simplicity can be exploited for pricing-based control of large networks. We first consider a general loss network with Poisson arrivals...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity and Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. The client requests ...
— Packet filtering plays a critical role in the performance of many network devices such as firewalls, IPSec gateways, DiffServ and QoS routers. A tremendous amount of research...
Overlay topologies are now popular with many emerging peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, to efficiently locate and retrieve information. In contrast, the focus of this work is to use ove...
Most solution methods for the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) develop routes from the earliest feasible departure time. In practice, however, temporal traffic co...
