We study the single pair capacitated network design problem and the budget constrained max flow problem on undirected series-parallel graphs. These problems were well studied on directed series-parallel graphs, but little is known in the…
Carrier-grade networks comprise several layers where different protocols coexist. Nowadays, most of these networks have different control planes to manage routing on different layers, leading to a suboptimal use of the network resources and…

Shortest paths in complex networks play key roles in many applications. Examples include routing packets in a computer network, routing traffic on a transportation network, and inferring semantic distances between concepts on the World Wide…
Execution graphs of parallel loop programs exhibit a nested, repeating structure. We show how such graphs that are the result of nested repetition can be represented by succinct parametric structures. This parametric graph template…

We consider the problem of serving multicast flows in a crossbar switch. We show that linear network coding across packets of a flow can sustain traffic patterns that cannot be served if network coding were not allowed. Thus, network coding…
Network administrators want to detect TCP-level packet reordering to diagnose performance problems and attacks. However, reordering is expensive to measure, because each packet must be processed relative to the TCP sequence number of its…
The interconnection network is a key element in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Datacenter (DC) systems whose performance depends on several design parameters, such as the topology, the switch architecture, and the routing algorithm.…

A problem that arises in drawings of transportation networks is to minimize the number of crossings between different transportation lines. While this can be done efficiently under specific constraints, not all solutions are visually…
The Edge Interdiction Clique Problem (EICP) aims to remove at most $k$ edges from a graph so as to minimize the size of the largest clique in the remaining graph. This problem captures a fundamental question in graph manipulation: which…
Many large-scale optimization problems decompose into a master problem and scenario subproblems, a structure that can be exploited by Benders decomposition. In Benders decomposition, each iteration may generate many cuts from scenario…

We study the problem of finding flows in undirected graphs so as to minimize the weighted $p$-norm of the flow for any $p > 1$. When $p=2$, the problem is that of finding an electrical flow, and its dual is equivalent to solving a Laplacian…
