Design of energy-efficient access networks has emerged as an important area of research, since access networks consume $80-90\%$ of the overall Internet power consumption. TWDM-PON is envisaged to be one of the widely accepted future access…

In this paper we consider spatial networks that realize a balance between an infrastructure cost (the cost of wire needed to connect the network in space) and communication efficiency, measured by average shortest pathlength. A global…

Ad hoc network is a collection of different types of nodes, which are connected in heterogeneous or homogeneous manner. It is also known as self-organizing-wireless network. The dynamic nature of ad hoc networks make them more attractive,…

We consider the problem of designing (or augmenting) an electric power system at a minimum cost such that it satisfies the N-k-e survivability criterion. This survivability criterion is a generalization of the well-known N-k criterion, and…

The interconnection network comprises a significant portion of the cost of large parallel computers, both in economic terms and power consumption. Several previous proposals exploit large-radix routers to build scalable low-distance…

The increase and rapid growth of data produced by scientific instruments, the Internet of Things (IoT), and social media is causing data transfer performance and resource consumption to garner much attention in the research community. The…

Through the past decade the field of network science has established itself as a common ground for the cross-fertilization of exciting inter-disciplinary studies which has motivated researchers to model almost every physical system as an…

Wireless networking allows users to access information and services regardless of location and physical infrastructure. It is a fast growing technology due to its availability of wireless devices, flexibility, ease of installation and…

Because of the long planning periods and their long life cycle, railway infrastructure has to be outlined long ahead. At the present, the infrastructure is designed while only little about the intended operation is known. Hence, the…

As the energy footprint generated by software is increasing at an alarming rate, understanding how to develop energy-efficient applications has become a necessity. Previous work has introduced catalogs of coding practices, also known as…

This paper studies a fundamental algorithmic problem related to the design of demand-aware networks: networks whose topologies adjust toward the traffic patterns they serve, in an online manner. The goal is to strike a tradeoff between the…

The aim of distribution networks is to meet their local area power demand with maximum reliability. As the electricity consumption tends to increase every year, limited line thermal capacity can lead to network congestion. Continuous…

Over the past 10 years, low-power wireless networks have transitioned to supporting IPv6 connectivity through 6LoWPAN, a set of standards which specify how to aggressively compress IPv6 packets over low-power wireless links such as…

Demand-aware communication networks are networks whose topology is optimized toward the traffic they need to serve. These networks have recently been enabled by novel optical communication technologies and are investigated intensively in…

Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs), like wireless networks based upon the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, have strong energy constraints, and are moreover subject to frequent transmission errors, not only due to congestion but also to collisions…

Software Defined Networking (SDN) can effectively improve the performance of traffic engineering and has promising application foreground in backbone networks. Therefore, new energy saving schemes must take SDN into account, which is…

The surging global mobile data traffic challenges the economic viability of cellular networks and calls for innovative solutions to reduce the network congestion and improve user experience. In this context, user-provided networks (UPNs),…

Networks are designed to satisfy given objectives under specific requirements. While the static connectivity of networks is normally analyzed and corresponding design principles for static robustness are proposed, the challenge still…

Dramatic data traffic growth, especially wireless data, is driving a significant surge in energy consumption in the last mile access of the telecommunications infrastructure. The growing energy consumption not only escalates the operators'…

The Internet of Things paradigm envisages the presence of many battery-powered sensors and this entails the design of energy-aware protocols. Source coding techniques allow to save some energy by compressing the packets sent over the…
