An instance of the multi-sender index coding problem consists of a set of senders collectively having all the messages demanded by a set of receivers. Each receiver knows a subset of messages a priori, called its side ...

Advances in optical fibre transmission have created interest in a class of multiple access local and metropolitan area networks called unidirectional bus networks. In the absence of medium access control, the nodes closer ...

Social networks play an important role in disseminating a piece of information in a population. Companies advertising a newly launched product, movie promotion, political campaigns, social awareness campaigns by governments, ...

In this thesis, we consider optimal control problems arising in high-speed integrated communication networks with Quality of Service (QOS) constraints. Integrated networks are expected to carry a large variety of traffic ...

Code generation is a difficult and complex phase of compiler writing. Most problems associated with the code generation phase are NP-complete; therefore, heuristics have been employed to solve them. Instruction selection ...

We consider the problem of designing revenue-optimal mechanisms for selling two heterogeneous items to a single buyer. Designing a revenue-optimal mechanism for selling a single item is simple: Set a threshold price based ...

This thesis studies two problems related to cellular resource provisioning. The first problem deals with mobile-assisted data offloading, and the second problem analyzes network partitioning for differential pricing and ...

Distributed systems are employed in many modern storage and computing architecture for greater reliability and cost-efficiency. There are several important considerations in the design and implementation of such distributed ...

Force deployment and optimal resource allocation has been an area of considerable research interest in conventional warfare. In the modern scenario, with significant advances in technology related to communication and ...
