Unlimited access to a motorway network can, in overloaded conditions, cause a loss of capacity. Ramp metering (signals on slip roads to control access to the motorway) can help avoid this loss of capacity. The design of ramp metering…

Inspired by the Statistical Physics of complex networks, wireless multihop ad hoc communication networks are considered in abstracted form. Since such engineered networks are able to modify their structure via topology control, we search…

A large-scale content-centric mobile ad hoc network employing subpacketization is studied in which each mobile node having finite-size cache moves according to the reshuffling mobility model and requests a content object from the library…

This paper studies the power of the "abstract MAC layer" model in a single-hop asynchronous network. The model captures primitive properties of modern wireless MAC protocols. In this model, Newport [PODC '14] proves that it is impossible to…

Our goal is to infer the topology of a network when (i) we can send probes between sources and receivers at the edge of the network and (ii) intermediate nodes can perform simple network coding operations, i.e., additions. Our key intuition…

We review selected results related to robustness of networked systems in finite and asymptotically large size regimes, under static and dynamical settings. In the static setting, within the framework of flow over finite networks, we discuss…

We develop a new metric for quantifying end-to-end throughput in multihop wireless networks, which we term random access transport capacity, since the interference model presumes uncoordinated transmissions. The metric quantifies the…

Multitarget tracking in the interference environments suffers from the nonuniform, unknown and time-varying clutter, resulting in dramatic performance deterioration. We address this challenge by proposing a robust multitarget tracking…

We consider the effects of network topology on the optimality of packet routing quantified by $\gamma_c$, the rate of packet insertion beyond which congestion and queue growth occurs. The key result of this paper is to show that for any…

In Heterogeneous mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) congestion occurs with limited resources. Due to the shared wireless channel and dynamic topology, packet transmissions suffer from interference and fading. In heterogeneous ad hoc networks,…

Saturation is considered the state-of-the-art method for computing fixpoints with decision diagrams. We present a relatively simple decision diagram operation called REACH that also computes fixpoints. In contrast to saturation, it does not…
