Robust parameter design optimization of simulation experiments using stochastic perturbation methods
Stochastic perturbation methods can be applied to problems for which either the objective function is represented analytically, or the objective function is the result of a simula...

A unified framework for multipath routing for unicast and multicast traffic
We study the problem of load balancing the traffic from a set of unicast and multicast sessions. The problem is formulated as an optimization problem. However, we assume that the g...
