With the rapidly increasing number of deployed LTE femtocell base stations (FBS), energy consumption of femtocell networks has become a serious environmental issue. Therefore, energy-efficient protocols are needed to balance the trade-off…
The inclusion of a fragmentation mechanism in population balance equations introduces complex interactions that make the analytical or even computational treatment much more difficult than for the pure aggregation case. This is specially…

Consider $n$ mobile sensors placed independently at random with the uniform distribution on a barrier represented as the unit line segment $[0,1]$. The sensors have identical sensing radius, say $r$. When a sensor is displaced on the line a…

We formulate and solve the energy minimization problem for a clustered device-to-device (D2D) network with cache-enabled mobile devices. Devices are distributed according to a Poisson cluster process (PCP) and are assumed to have a surplus…
We study a Markovian model for the random fragmentation of an object. At each time, the state consists of a collection of blocks. Each block waits an exponential amount of time with parameter given by its size to some power $\alpha$,…

Minimal fragmentation models intend to unveil the statistical properties of large ensembles of identical objects, each one segmented in {\it two} parts only. Contrary to what happens in the multifragmentation of a single body, minimally…
We consider the problem of scheduling multiprocessor jobs to minimize the total completion time under the given energy budget. Each multiprocessor job requires more than one processor at the same moment of time. Processors may operate at…
Scientific research in many fields routinely requires the analysis of large datasets, and scientists often employ workflow systems to leverage clusters of computers for their data analysis. However, due to their size and scale, these…

The problem of attaining energy efficiency in distributed systems is of importance, but a general, non-domain-specific theory of energy-minimal scheduling is far from developed. In this paper, we classify the problems of energy-minimal…
