This paper treats the solution of nonlinear optimization problems involving discrete decision variables, also known as generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) or mixed-integer n...
The last decade has been a very fruitful period in important discoveries in network traffic modeling, uncovering various scaling behaviors. Self-similarity, long-range dependence,...
The efficient use of network capacity in shared restoration schemes strongly depends upon the path selection procedure. In this paper we propose and evaluate path selection algorit...

Markov decisionprocesses(MDPs) haveproven to be popular models for decision-theoretic planning, but standard dynamic programming algorithms for solving MDPs rely on explicit, stat...
Economic principles are increasingly being suggested for addressing some complex issues related to distributed resource allocation for QoS (Quality of Service) enhancement. Many p...
