The unsplittable flow problem is one of the most extensively studied optimization problems in the field of networking. An instance of it consists of an edge capacitated graph and ...
For revenue and welfare maximization in singledimensional Bayesian settings, Chawla et al. (STOC10) recently showed that sequential posted-price mechanisms (SPMs), though simple i...
A pervasive requirement of distributed systems is to deal with churn — change in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A high churn rate ca...
Abstract— Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-topeer and ad hoc networks, we study distributed asynchronous algorithms, also known as gossip algorithms, for computation and...
