This paper proposes a method to navigate a mobile robot by estimating its state over a number of distributed sensor networks (DSNs) such that it can successively accomplish a sequence of tasks, i.e., its state enters each targeted set and…

We tackle the problem of goal-directed graph construction: given a starting graph, a budget of modifications, and a global objective function, the aim is to find a set of edges whose addition to the graph achieves the maximum improvement in…

We develop a general framework for designing polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASs) for various vehicle routing problems in trees. In these problems, the goal is to optimally route a fleet of vehicles, originating at a depot, to…

Payment channel networks (PCNs) have been designed and utilized to address the scalability challenge and throughput limitation of blockchains. Routing is a core problem of PCNs. An ideal PCN routing method needs to achieve 1) high…

In-network computing via smart networking devices is a recent trend for modern datacenter networks. State-of-the-art switches with near line rate computing and aggregation capabilities are developed to enable, e.g., acceleration and better…

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) enables flexible network resource allocations for traffic engineering, but at the same time the scalability problem becomes more serious since traffic is more difficult to be aggregated. Those crucial…

IP networks with a hybrid control plane deploy a distributed routing protocol like OSPF and the centralized paradigm of SDN in parallel. The advantages and disadvantages of a hybrid control plane have already been extensively discussed in…

Searching in P2P networks is fundamental to all overlay networks. P2P networks based on Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) are optimized for single key lookups, whereas unstructured networks offer more complex queries at the cost of increased…

The disadvantages of the combination of traditional switches and middleboxes have being exposed under the condition of increasingly various network function demands,such as function flexibility, performance scalability and resource…

Multipath TCP, or MPTCP, is a widely-researched mechanism that allows a single application-level connection to be split to more than one TCP stream, and consequently more than one network interface, as opposed to the traditional TCP/IP…

The electric power distribution network (PDN) and the transportation network (TN) are generally operated/coordinated by different entities. However, they are coupled with each other due to electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs). This…

Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been recently introduced as a new communication paradigm in computer networks. By separating the control plane from the data plane and entrusting packet forwarding to straightforward switches, SDN makes…

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to wheeled robot navigation through an environment with movable obstacles. A robot exploits knowledge about different obstacle classes and selects the minimally invasive action to perform to clear…

Tensor networks are a compressed format for multi-dimensional data. One-dimensional tensor networks -- often referred to as tensor trains (TT) or matrix product states (MPS) -- are increasingly being used as a numerical ansatz for continuum…

Small cells are a cost-effective way to reliably expand network coverage and provide significantly increased capacity for end users. The ultra-high bandwidth available at millimeter (mmWave) and Terahertz (THz) frequencies can effectively…

This paper aims to address the challenge of designing secure and high performance Quantum Key Distribution Networks (QKDN), which are essential for encrypted communication in the era of quantum computing. Focusing on the control and…

This paper summarizes the challenges identified at the MAMI Management and Measurement Summit (M3S) for network management with the increased deployment of encrypted traffic based on a set of use cases and deployed techniques (for network…

Routing in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) benefits considerably if one can take advantage of knowledge concerning node mobility. The main contribution of this paper is the definition of a generic routing scheme for DTNs using a…

In this paper, we propose the Ordered Median Tree Location Problem (OMT). The OMT is a single-allocation facility location problem where p facilities must be placed on a network connected by a non-directed tree. The objective is to minimize…

Network routing is a distributed decision problem which naturally admits numerical performance measures, such as the average time for a packet to travel from source to destination. OLPOMDP, a policy-gradient reinforcement learning…
