In this paper, we study how to determine concurrent transmissions and the transmission power level of each link to maximize spectrum efficiency and minimize energy consumption in a wireless ad hoc network. The optimal joint transmission…

The growing diffusion of wireless-enabled portable devices and the recent advances in Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) open new scenarios where users can benefit from anywhere and at any time for impromptu collaboration. However, energy…

Dynamic availability is the ability of a consensus protocol to remain live despite honest participants going offline and later rejoining. A well-known limitation is that dynamically available protocols, on their own, cannot provide strong…

Selfish behaviors are common in self-organized Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) where nodes belong to different authorities. Since cooperation of nodes is essential for routing protocols, various methods have been proposed to stimulate…

Networks observed in real world like social networks, collaboration networks etc., exhibit temporal dynamics, i.e. nodes and edges appear and/or disappear over time. In this paper, we propose a generative, latent space based, statistical…

We present a conceptual framework for the dynamic traffic resources allocation problem in a situation of elastic demand among customers. We introduce an activity-based model to express customers' successive actions and transfers in order to…

Dynamic pricing is commonly used to regulate congestion in shared service systems. This paper is motivated by the fact that in the presence of users with varying price sensitivity (responsiveness), conventional monotonic pricing can lead to…

Self-stabilization is a versatile fault-tolerance approach that characterizes the ability of a system to eventually resume a correct behavior after any finite number of transient faults. In this paper, we propose a self-stabilizing reset…

Resource pooling in ad hoc networks deals with accumulating computing and network resources to implement network control schemes such as routing, congestion, traffic management, and so on. Pooling of resources can be accomplished using the…

We consider a network model where the nodes are grouped into a number of clusters and propose a distributed dynamic frequency allocation algorithm that achieves performance close to that of a centralized optimal algorithm. Each cluster…

Dynamic Networks are a popular way of modeling and studying the behavior of evolving systems. However, their analysis constitutes a relatively recent subfield of Network Science, and the number of available tools is consequently much…

We consider a wireless ad hoc network in the presence of eavesdroppers (EDs), where the nodes are distributed according to independent Poisson point processes (PPPs). The legitimate nodes follow the half-duplex mode of operation employing…

In many cases, recommendations are consumed by groups of users rather than individuals. In this paper, we present a system which recommends social events to groups. The system helps groups to organize a joint activity and collectively…
