We consider the problem of allocating multiple indivisible items (resources) to a set of capacitated agents to maximize the social welfare subject to network effects (externalities). Here, the social welfare is given by the sum of agents' utilities and ...

To maintain network efficiency of a home network, it is crucial to moderately distribute limited data throughput and bandwidth resources to various home devices and services that require different network resource provisions. This paper accounts for QoS ...

Ultra‐reliable low‐latency communication (URLLC) is one of the promising services offered by fifth‐generation technology for an industrial wireless network. Moreover, reinforcement learning is gaining attention due to its potential to learn from observed ...

Based on concepts like the $k$th convex hull and finer characterization of nonconvexity of a function, we propose a refinement of the Shapley--Folkman lemma and derive a new estimate for the duality gap of nonconvex optimization problems with separable ...

This study presents eM‐SON, an adaptive framework for providing efficient multimedia services over self‐organising, hybrid Wi‐Fi networks. In this reconfigurable architecture, multimedia services can be received via a Wi‐Fi router, Wi‐Fi hotspot, or Wi‐Fi ...

WLAN has proven itself as the most economical wireless access technology over the time. Its widespread deployment encouraged 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) to standardize the integration of such non-3GPP access technologies into the existing ...

Recent advances inoptical networks lead the advent of service sensitive applications andthe community researches free from the individual research. Sensitive applications and community researches overOptical Private Network (OPN) is required to ...

In recent years, the notion of service overlay networks has been proposed as a promising solution for providing end-to-end QoS without changing the current Internet architecture. A major issue in deploying service overlay networks is determining how to ...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of link-level resource provision in multi-radio multi-channel (MR-MC) wireless networks. To quantify robustness of resource provision schemes, we propose the novel concept of interference margin. Using the ...

This paper presents an evolutionary approach to the finding of maxmin-fair solutions of the general network resource allocation problem. From the definition of maxmin-fairness, a general relation among real points is derived that can be used to replace ...

This paper presents a new query recommendation method that generates recommended query list by mining large-scale user logs. Starting from the user logs of click-through data, we construct a bipartite network where the nodes on one side correspond to ...

A combined control of multimedia quality and network resource allocation is a core requirement for the deployment of communication services shared by multiple users (multi-user). The challenge resides in achieving a high number of satisfied users while ...

In a high-speed network, application-network interactions are considerations of paramount importance for service responsiveness. The CARRIOCAS project aims to study the high-speed networking features that are needed to support distributed applications ...

We consider a communication network in which dynamic routing is used for establishing connections that support information transfer between end-users. Link state information is exchanged and maintained up-to-date among network nodes for path computation ...
