A statistical physics perspective of complex networks: from the architecture of the Internet and the brain to the spreading of an epidemic Statistical physics has revealed itself as the ideal framework to describe large networks appearing in a variety of d ...
Virtual private network design deals with the reservation of capacities in a network, such that the nodes can share communication. Each node in the network has associated upper bounds on the amount of flow that it can send to the network and receive from t ...
We consider the problem of correlated data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree based communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total trans- mission cost of transporting the information collected by the nodes, to the sink nod ...
Unlike existing aerial swarm systems, we aim at developing algorithms which do not require global or relative positioning information concerning agents and their neighbors. This alleviates the need for sensors which require calibration, are expensive and h ...
For a class of sensor networks, the task is to monitor an underlying
physical phenomenon over space and time through a
noisy observation process. The sensors can communicate back
to a data collector over a noisy channel. The key parameters
in such a se ...

This thesis is concerned with problems in decentralized communication in large networks. Namely, we address the problems of joint rate allocation and transmission of data sources measured at nodes, and of controlling the multiple access of sources to a sha ...
We consider the problem of correlated data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total transmission cost of transporting the information collected by the nodes, to the sink node. Two c ...
In this paper, we investigate properties of good coding strategies for a class of wireless sensor networks that could be termed "monitoring" networks: Their task is to monitor an underlying physical reality at the highest possible fidelity. Since the sense ...

In this paper, we present an efficient measurement technique for the analysis of power line communication (PLC) signals. The frequency spectrum associated with PLC signals extends from 1 MHz to 30 MHz. The proposed technique can be applied to a network con ...
In this paper we consider the online ftp problem. The goal is to service a sequence of file transfer requests given bandwidth constraints of the underlying communication network. The main result of the paper is a technique that leads to algorithms that opt ...
