—This paper considers a slotted ALOHA random access system where users send packets to a common receiver with multipacket reception capability. A collection of m users access the...
—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
Traditional communication theory focuses on minimizing transmit power. However, communication links are increasingly operating at shorter ranges where transmit power can be signif...
—Network management applications require large numbers of counters in order to collect traffic characteristics for each network flow. However, these counters often barely fit ...
This paper addresses the evolution of control strategies for a collective: a set of entities that collectively strives to maximize a global evaluation function that rates the perf...
