This paper studies the optimal placement of web files for en-route web caching. It is shown that existing placement policies are all solving restricted partial problems of the ...
—We address the issue of optimal energy allocation and admission control for communications satellites in earth orbit. Such satellites receive requests for transmission as they o...
— This paper is concerned with understanding the connection between the existing Internet congestion control algorithms and the optimal control theory. The available resource all...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of optimizing over the switching times for a multi-modal dynamic system when the complete cost-to-go is not available. The instant...
Abstract. We adopt the Markov chain framework to model bilateral negotiations among agents in dynamic environments and use Bayesian learning to enable them to learn an optimal stra...
