This thesis explores a particular class of distributed optimization methods for various separable resource allocation problems, which are of high interest in a wide array of multi-agent settings. A distinctly motivating application for this…
Information diffusion prediction is a fundamental task which forecasts how an information item will spread among users. In recent years, deep learning based methods, especially those based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs), have achieved…
This paper presents a doubly dynamic day-to-day (DTD) traffic assignment model with simultaneous route-and-departure-time (SRDT) choices while incorporating incomplete and imperfect information as well as bounded rationality. Two SRDT…
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are critical for emergency communication in highly dynamic and challenging scenarios characterized by intermittent connectivity, frequent disruptions, and unpredictable node mobility. While some protocols are…
We study random linear network coding for broadcasting in time division duplexing channels. We assume a packet erasure channel with nodes that cannot transmit and receive information simultaneously. The sender transmits coded data packets…
The integration of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) and terrestrial networks (TNs) is fundamental for extending connectivity to rural and underserved areas that lack coverage from traditional cellular infrastructure. However, this…
Network capacity expansion is a critical challenge for telecom operators, requiring strategic placement of new cell sites to ensure optimal coverage and performance. Traditional approaches, such as manual drive tests and static…
This paper studies the traffic monitoring problem in a road network using a team of aerial robots. The problem is challenging due to two main reasons. First, the traffic events are stochastic, both temporally and spatially. Second, the…
Effective coordination of agents actions in partially-observable domains is a major challenge of multi-agent systems research. To address this, many researchers have developed techniques that allow the agents to make decisions based on…
In this paper, we consider an information update system where wireless sensor sends timely updates to the destination over a random blocking terahertz channel with the supply of harvested energy and reliable energy backup. The paper aims to…
Self-attention based models are widely used in news recommendation tasks. However, previous Attention architecture does not constrain repeated information in the user's historical behavior, which limits the power of hidden representation…
Military and disaster relief operations increasingly rely on unmanned vehicles (UxVs). It is important to develop a network control system (NCS) that can continuously coordinate and optimize the movement of UxVs based on mission objectives.…
We present an algorithm for the problem of linear distributed estimation of a parameter in a network where a set of agents are successively taking measurements. The approach considers a roaming token in a network that carries the estimate,…
We analyze an idealized model for the transmission or flow of particles, or discrete packets of information, in a weight bearing branching hierarchical 2-D networks, and its variants. The capacities add hierarchically down the clusters.…
