A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
— We study problems related to supporting multicast connections with Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. We investigate the problem of optimal resource allocation in the conte...
—Virtualized cloud-based services can take advantage of statistical multiplexing across applications to yield significant cost savings to the operator. However, achieving simila...
