Optimality conditions are derived for problems of minimizing a general measure of deviation of a random variable, with special attention to situations where the random variable cou...

In this paper, we study the problem of dynamic allocation of the resources of a general parallel processing system, comprised of M heterogeneous processors and M heterogeneous tra...

In this paper, we focus on the general relay channel. We investigate the application of the estimate-and-forward (EAF) relaying scheme to different scenarios. Specifically, we stud...
We present a new method to show concentration of the upper tail of random variables that can be written as sums of variables with plenty of independence. We compare our method with...
Bulk-arrival queues with single servers that provide bulk service are widespread in the real world, e.g., elevators in buildings, people-movers in amusement parks, air-cargo deliv...
