— In this paper, a family of low-density parity-check (LDPC) degree distributions, whose decoding threshold on the binary erasure channel (BEC) admits a simple closed form, is pr...
This paper focuses on two problems related to QoS-aware I/O server placement in hierarchical Grid environments. Given a hierarchical network with requests from clients, the network...
Distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs) are a popular way of formulating and solving agent-coordination problems. It is often desirable to solve DCOPs optimally with m...
— This paper develops a hierarchical iterative OSNR algorithm based on a game theory framework. A Nash game is formulated between channels with channel utility related to maximiz...
Replicating data objects onto servers across a system can alleviate access delays. The selection of data objects and servers requires solving a constraint optimization problem, wh...
