— There is a growing interest among service providers to offer new services with Quality of Service (QoS) guaranties that are also resilient to failures. Supporting QoS connectio...
In this paper we show how the classical job-shop scheduling problem can be modeled as a special class of acyclic timed automata. Finding an optimal schedule corresponds, then, to n...
We focus on data gathering problems in energy constrained networked sensor systems. The system operates in rounds where a subset of the sensors generate a certain number of data p...
Abstract-- In this paper we study the computational complexity and effectiveness of a concept we term "N-hub ShortestPath Routing" in IP networks. N-hub Shortest-Path Rou...
We introduce a concept of so-called disjoint ordering for any collection of finite sets. It can be viewed as a generalization of a system of distinctive representatives for the s...
