Modern latency-critical online services often rely on composing results from a large number of server components. Hence the tail latency (e.g. the 99th percentile of response time), rather than the average, of these components determines…
Satellite networks are booming to provide high-speed and low latency Internet access, but the transport layer becomes one of the main obstacles. Legacy end-to-end TCP is designed for terrestrial networks, not suitable for error-prone,…
In recent years many studies of urban mobility based on large data sets have been published: most of them based on crowdsourced GPS data or smart-card data. We present, what is to our knowledge the first, exploration of public transport…
Distributed Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) when run in a synchronous manner, suffers from delays in runtime as it waits for the slowest workers (stragglers). Asynchronous methods can alleviate stragglers, but cause gradient staleness…
As the Internet becomes increasingly heterogeneous, the issue of congestion avoidance and control becomes ever more important. And the queue length, end-to-end delays and link utilization is some of the important things in term of…
We develop an input delay-compensating design for stabilization of an Aw-Rascle-Zhang (ARZ) traffic model in congested regime which is governed by a $2\times 2$ first-order hyperbolic nonlinear PDE. The traffic flow consists of both…
Descriptions of quantum algorithms, communication etc. protocols assume the existence of closed quantum system. However, real life quantum systems are open and are highly sensitive to errors. Hence error correction is of utmost importance…
In this paper, we examine the influence of communication latency on performance of networked control systems. Even though distributed control architectures offer advantages in terms of communication, maintenance costs, and scalability, it…
Background: In neurophysiological data, latency refers to a global shift of spikes from one spike train to the next, either caused by response onset fluctuations or by finite propagation speed. Such systematic shifts in spike timing lead to…
The blocking problem naturally arises in transportation systems as multiple vehicles with different itineraries share available resources. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the blocking problem to the waiting time at the…
Besides parametric uncertainties and disturbances, the unmodeled dynamics and time delay at the input are often present in practical systems, which cannot be ignored in some cases. This paper aims to solve output feedback tracking control…
Event-triggered control (ETC) is claimed to provide enormous reductions in sampling frequency when compared to periodic sampling, but little is formally known about its generated traffic. This work shows that ETC can exhibit very complex,…
Decentralized optimization algorithms have recently attracted increasing attention due to its wide applications in all areas of science and engineering. In these algorithms, a collection of agents collaborate to minimize the average of a…
Due to the presence of buffers in the inner network nodes, each congestion event leads to buffer queueing and thus to an increasing end-to-end delay. In the case of delay sensitive applications, a large delay might not be acceptable and a…
In this paper we study the design issues in improving TCP performance over the ATM UBR service. ATM-UBR switches respond to congestion by dropping cells when their buffers become full. TCP connections running over UBR can experience low…
TCP is designed for networks with assumption that major losses occur only due to congestion of network traffic. On a wireless network TCP misinterprets the transmission losses due to bit errors and handoffs as losses caused by congestion,…
In this work we propose a feedback approach to regulate the chaotic behavior of the whole family of the generalized Lorenz system, by designing a nonlinear delayed feedback control. We first study the effect of the delay on the dynamics of…
We propose an asynchronous, decentralized algorithm for consensus optimization. The algorithm runs over a network in which the agents communicate with their neighbors and perform local computation. In the proposed algorithm, each agent can…
The vibro-impact capsule system is a self-propelled mechanism that has abundant coexisting attractors and moves rectilinearly under periodic excitation when overcoming environmental resistance. In this paper, we study the control of…
