A variety of goods and services in the contemporary world requires permanent improvement of services e-commerce platform performance. Modern society is so deeply integrated with mail deliveries, purchasing of goods and services online, that…

In this paper, we consider an online resource allocation problem where a decision maker accepts or rejects incoming customer requests irrevocably in order to maximize expected reward given limited resources. At each time, a new…

This paper studies how to attain fairness in communication for omniscience, where a set of users exchange their observations of a discrete multiple random source to attain omniscience---the state that all users recover the entire source.…

Deep learning (DL) for network models have achieved excellent performance in the field and are becoming a promising component in future intelligent network system. Programmable in-network computing device has great potential to deploy DL…

Network congestion and packet loss pose an ever-increasing challenge to video streaming. Despite the research efforts toward making video encoding schemes resilient to lossy network conditions, forwarding devices have not considered…

Network traffic classification is a core primitive for network security and management, yet it is increasingly challenged by pervasive encryption and evolving protocols. A central bottleneck is representation: hand-crafted flow statistics…

As mobile traffic is dominated by content services (e.g., video), which typically use recommendation systems, the paradigm of network-friendly recommendations (NFR) has been proposed recently to boost the network performance by promoting…

Solving optimization problems in multi-agent systems (MAS) involves information exchange between agents. These solutions must be robust to delays and errors that arise from an unreliable wireless network which typically connects the MAS. In…

We consider the problem of routing packets across a multi-hop network consisting of multiple sources of traffic and wireless links while ensuring bounded expected delay. Each packet transmission can be overheard by a random subset of…

Algorithmic decision making systems are ubiquitous across a wide variety of online as well as offline services. These systems rely on complex learning methods and vast amounts of data to optimize the service functionality, satisfaction of…

While various aspects of edge computing (EC) have been studied extensively, the current literature has overlooked the robust edge network operations and planning problem. To this end, this letter proposes a novel fairness-aware…

Graph algorithms are central to large-scale applications such as navigation systems, social networks, and data analysis platforms. This thesis studies two important challenges in such systems: robustness to failures and fairness in…

Existing approaches to algorithmic fairness aim to ensure equitable outcomes if human decision-makers comply perfectly with algorithmic decisions. However, perfect compliance with the algorithm is rarely a reality or even a desirable…

This paper explores the concept of fairness and equitable matching in an on-line vehicle-cargo matching setting, addressing the varying degrees of satisfaction experienced by shippers and carriers. Relevant indicators for shippers and…

Fairness is a concept of justice. Various definitions exist, some of them conflicting with each other. In the absence of an uniformly accepted notion of fairness, choosing the right kind for a specific situation has always been a central…

Online dating platforms have fundamentally transformed the formation of romantic relationships, with millions of users worldwide relying on algorithmic matching systems to find compatible partners. However, current recommendation systems in…

Many data center applications such as machine learning and big data analytics can complete their analysis without processing the complete set of data. While extensive approximate-aware optimizations have been proposed at hardware,…

We design a cross-layer approach to optimize the joint use of multi-packet reception and network coding, in order to relieve congestion. We construct a model for the behavior of the 802.11 MAC and apply it to several key canonical topology…

Time-critical cyber-physical applications demand the timely delivery of information. In this work, we employ a high-speed packet processing testbed to quantitatively analyze a packet forwarding application running on a shared memory…

While acoustic communications have been considered the prominent technology to communicate under water for several years, other technologies are being developed based, e.g., on optical and radio-frequency electro-magnetic waves. Each…
