In this paper, we compute the expected number of vehicles with at least one two-hop path to a fixed roadside unit (RSU) in a multi-hop, one-dimensional vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) where other cars can act as relays. The pairwise…

Mobile Advertisement is a location-aware dissemination solution built on top of a vehicular ad-hoc network. We envision a network of WiFi access points that dynamically disseminate data to clients running on the car's smart device. The…

Effective inter-vehicle communication is fundamental to a decentralized traffic information system based on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). To reflect the uncertainty of the information propagation, most of the existing work was…

We consider vehicle-routing problems (VRPs) that incorporate the notion of {\em regret} of a client, which is a measure of the waiting time of a client relative to its shortest-path distance from the depot. Formally, we consider both the…

VANETs (Vehicular Ad hoc Networks) are highly mobile wireless ad hoc networks and will play an important role in public safety communications and commercial applications. Routing of data in VANETs is a challenging task due to rapidly…

In a Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET), the amount of interference from neighboring nodes to a communication link is governed by the vehicle density dynamics in vicinity and transmission probabilities of terminals. It is obvious that…

We consider a problem of placing generators of rewards to be collected by randomly moving agents in a network. In many settings, the precise mobility pattern may be one of several possible, based on parameters outside our control, such as…

In recent years, ridesharing platforms have become a prominent mode of transportation for the residents of urban areas. As a fundamental problem, route recommendation for these platforms is vital for their sustenance. The works done in this…

In this paper, we study the problem of allocating ads to users through the viral-marketing lens. Advertisers approach the host with a budget in return for the marketing campaign service provided by the host. We show that allocation that…

In the Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), due to the high mobility of vehicles, the network parameters change frequently and the information which the sender maintains may outdate when it wants to transmit data packet to the receiver, so…

VANETs (Vehicular Ad hoc Networks) are highly mobile wireless ad hoc networks and will play an important role in public safety communications and commercial applications. Routing of data in VANETs is a challenging task due to rapidly…

We consider the revenue maximization problem in social advertising, where a social network platform owner needs to select seed users for a group of advertisers, each with a payment budget, such that the total expected revenue that the owner…

In this work, a VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork) is considered to operate on a simple lane, without infrastructure. The arrivals of vehicles are assumed to be general with any traffic and speed assumptions. The vehicles communicate through…

Social advertising (or social promotion) is an effective approach that produces a significant cascade of adoption through influence in the online social networks. The goal of this work is to optimize the ad allocation from the platform's…

Vehicular Networks enable a vast number of innovative applications, which rely on the efficient exchange of information between vehicles. However, efficient and reliable data dissemination is a particularly challenging task in the context…

The Virtual Network Embedding Problem (VNEP) captures the essence of many resource allocation problems of today's infrastructure providers, which offer their physical computation and networking resources to customers. Customers request…

In this paper, we address the problem of distributing a large amount of bulk data to a sparse vehicular network from roadside infostations, using efficient vehicle-to-vehicle collaboration. Due to the highly dynamic nature of the underlying…

We consider an optimization problem posed by an actual newspaper company, which consists of computing a minimum length route for a delivery truck, such that the driver only stops at street crossings, each time delivering copies to all…

Local vehicle density estimation is increasingly becoming an essential factor of many vehicular ad-hoc network applications such as congestion control and traffic state estimation. This estimation is used to get an approximate number of…

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) have recently attracted a lot of attention due to their immense potentials and applications. Wide range of coverage and accessibility to end users make VANETs a good target for commercial companies. In…
