The Vehicle Routing Problem with Discrete Split Delivery and Time Windows

The Discrete Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (DSDVRPTW) consists of designing the optimal set of routes to serve, at least cost, a given set of customers while respecting constraints on vehicles capacity and customer time windows. ...

On the weakest failure detector ever

Rachid Guerraoui

Many problems in distributed computing are impossible to solve when no information about process failures is available. It is common to ask what information about failures is necessary and sufficient to circumvent some specific impossibility, e. g., consen ...

SU-8 microfluidic device for scintillating particle detection

Philippe Renaud, Alessandro Mapelli, Sébastien Jiguet, Noelia Vico Triviño

This paper presents the study of a novel scintillation detector based on standard microfabrication techniques. It consists of a fine pitch array of hollow waveguides filled with a liquid scintillator and optically coupled to photodetectors. The detector ha ...

A Study on the Impact of Competition on Airport Congestion

Niklaus Eggenberg

Air transportation in the US is increasingly faced with the problem of airport congestion: airlines tend to over-schedule to attract market share and revenue. Unfortunately, the airlines share a limited resource - airport capacity. The underlying question ...

File download and streaming system

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

A method of encoding data for transmission from a source to a destination over a communications channel is provided. The method operates on an ordered set of input symbols and includes generating a plurality of redundant symbols from the input symbols. The ...

A Web Survey for Facial Expressions Evaluation

Michel Bierlaire, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Matteo Sorci, Gianluca Antonini

In the recent years, researchers have investigated several methods of facial expression analysis. Their interest has been to apply their algorithms to sets of images labelled by a restrained number of experts. In order to deal with the generalizability of ...

Broadcast and Slepian-Wolf multicast over Aref Networks

Satish Babu Korada, Dinkar Vasudevan

We consider source coding over Aref networks. In particular we consider the following two problems: (i) multicasting correlated sources to a set of receivers, (ii) broadcasting sources to their respective receivers. For the first problem we show necessary ...

Compute-and-Forward: Harnessing Interference with Structured Codes

Michael Christoph Gastpar

For a centralized encoder and decoder, a channel matrix is simply a set of linear equations that can be transformed into parallel channels. We develop a similar approach to multiuser networks: we view interference as creating linear equations of codewords ...

Atoms of all channels, unite! Average case analysis of multi-channel sparse recovery using greedy algorithms

Pierre Vandergheynst, Rémi Gribonval, Karin Schnass

This paper provides new results on computing simultaneous sparse approximations of multichannel signals over redundant dictionaries using two greedy algorithms. The first one, p-thresholding, selects the S atoms that have the largest

The effect of liberalisation on incumbent's innovation

Cátia Alexandra Pereira Felisberto

The network industries have been undergoing a process of reform, where liberalisation is one of the main features. This thesis studies the effect of liberalisation, with and without competition, on the incumbent's incentives to innovate. A model of incumbe ...
