Caching algorithms try to predict content popularity, and place the content closer to the users. Additionally, nowadays requests are increasingly driven by recommendation systems (RS). These important trends, point to the following:…
Reciprocal recommender system (RRS), considering a two-way matching between two parties, has been widely applied in online platforms like online dating and recruitment. Existing RRS models mainly capture static user preferences, which have…
Each participant in peer-to-peer network prefers to free-ride on the contribution of other participants. Reputation based resource sharing is a way to control the free riding. Instead of classical game theory we use evolutionary game theory…
On-demand ride-sharing is rapidly growing.Matching trip requests to vehicles efficiently is critical for the service quality of ride-sharing. To match trip requests with vehicles, a prune-and-select scheme is commonly used. The pruning…
The Peer-to-Peer systems (P2P) were led these last years as the major technology of access upon various resources on Internet. These systems build a cluster witch contains a very large number of peers. As the result the selection of peers…
In densely populated-cities, the use of private cars for personal transportation is unsustainable, due to high parking and road capacity requirements. The mobility-on-demand systems have been proposed as an alternative to a private car.…
Residual radio resources are abundant in wireless networks due to dynamic traffic load, which can be exploited to support high throughput for serving non-real-time (NRT) traffic. In this paper, we investigate how to achieve this by resource…
Large events such as conferences, concerts and sports games, often cause surges in demand for ride services that are not captured in average demand patterns, posing unique challenges for routing algorithms. We propose a learning framework…
We introduce an improved algorithm for the dynamic taxi sharing problem, i.e. a dispatcher that schedules a fleet of shared taxis as it is used by services like UberXShare and Lyft Shared. We speed up the basic online algorithm that looks…
On-demand ride-pooling (e.g., UberPool) has recently become popular because of its ability to lower costs for passengers while simultaneously increasing revenue for drivers and aggregation companies. Unlike in Taxi on Demand (ToD) services…
Online Peer to Peer Lending (P2PL) systems connect lenders and borrowers directly, thereby making it convenient to borrow and lend money without intermediaries such as banks. Many recommendation systems have been developed for lenders to…
This paper proposes a fully decentralized peer-to-peer overlay structure GeoP2P, to facilitate geographic location based search and retrieval of information. Certain limitations of centralized geographic indexes favor peer-to-peer…
Realtime crowdsourcing research has demonstrated that it is possible to recruit paid crowds within seconds by managing a small, fast-reacting worker pool. Realtime crowds enable crowd-powered systems that respond at interactive speeds: for…
Transportation network companies (TNCs) have become a highly utilized transportation mode over the past years. At their emergence, TNCs were serving ride requests one by one. However, the economic and environmental benefits of ridesharing…
This paper presents a new ridesharing simulation platform that accounts for dynamic driver supply and passenger demand, and complex interactions between drivers and passengers. The proposed simulation platform explicitly considers driver…
Urban mobility systems face persistent challenges of congestion, underutilized vehicles, and rising emissions driven by private point-to-point commuting. Although ride-sharing platforms exist, their profit-driven incentive structures often…
Peer-to-peer ride-sharing platforms like Uber, Lyft, and DiDi have revolutionized the transportation industry and labor market. At its essence, these systems tackle the bipartite matching problem between two populations: riders and drivers.…
Interest in smart cities is rapidly rising due to the global rise in urbanization and the wide-scale instrumentation of modern cities. Due to the considerable infrastructural cost of setting up smart cities and smart communities,…
In the classic Dial-a-Ride Problem, a server travels in some metric space to serve requests for rides. Each request has a source, destination, and release time. We study a variation of this problem where each request also has a revenue that…
Two-thirds of the people who buy a new car prefer to use a substitute instead of the built-in navigation system. However, for many applications, knowledge about a user's intended destination and route is crucial. For example, suggestions…
