We present a new type of monotone submodular functions: multi-peak submodular functions. Roughly speaking, given a family of sets F, we construct a monotone submodular function f ...
—In this paper we present a methodology for the design of congestion control protocols for background data transfers that have a minimal delay impact on short TCP transfers and c...
