— The problem of sensor activation in a controlled discrete event system is considered. Sensors are assumed to be costly and can be turned on/off during the operation of the syst...
Despite the significant body of results in real-time scheduling, many real world problems are not easily supported. While algorithms such as Earliest Deadline First, Rate Monotoni...

We examine the problem of minimizing feedbacks in reliable wireless broadcasting, by pairing rateless coding with extreme value theory. Our key observation is that, in a broadcast ...

We provide first-time fixed-parameter tractability results for the NP-complete problems Maximum Full-Degree Spanning Tree and Minimum-Vertex Feedback Edge Set. These problems are...
Abstract. We study an extension of the set cover problem, the connected set cover problem, the problem is to find a set cover of minimal size that satisfies some connectivity con...
