Abstract. We study computationally hard combinatorial problems arising from the important engineering question of how to maximize the number of connections that can be simultaneous...
We discuss the use of social networks in implementing viral marketing strategies. While influence maximization has been studied in this context (see Chapter 24 of [10]), we study ...

Abstract-- The problem of optimally controlling the processing rate of tasks in Discrete Event Systems (DES) with hard real-time constraints has been solved in [9] under the assump...
Query substitution is an important problem in information retrieval. Much work focuses on how to find substitutes for any given query. In this paper, we study how to efficiently ...
Abstract: This paper introduces a new method for optimally provisioning and pricing differentiated services, that maximizes profit and maintains a small blocking probability. Reso...
