We present in this paper a new complete method for distributed constraint optimization. This is a utility-propagation method, inspired by the sum-product algorithm (Kschischang et al 2001). The original algorithm requires fixed message sizes, linear memory ...
The success of the peer-to-peer idea has created a huge diversity of approaches. A wide variety of structures and architectures have been proposed. The terminology and abstractions used, however, are quite confusing since the P2P paradigm has interested re ...
Convex polyhedra are important objects in various areas of mathematics and other disciplines. A fundamental result, known as Minkowski-Weyl theorem, states that every polyhedron admits two types of representations, either as the solution set to a finite sy ...
The candidate will study some special cases of preemptive open shop problems with multiprocessors. He will in particular concentrate on the situation when the processor set is partitioned into 2 multiprocessors. The two cases of preemptions (at integral ti ...
In this paper, we consider the minimization of a relevant energy consumption related cost function in the context of sensor networks where correlated sources are generated at various sets of source nodes and have to be transmitted to some set of sink nodes ...

This paper elucidates the relation between network dynamics and graph theory. A new general method to determine global stability of total synchronization in networks with different topologies is proposed. This method combines the Lyapunov function approach ...
A polynomial time solution algorithm is described to find a smallest subset R of nodes of a directed graph D=(V,A) such that, for every node v in V-R, there are k edge-disjoint paths from R to v and there are l edge-disjoint paths from v to R. ...
The large no. of chem. transformations involved in biochem. pathways and the even larger no. of enzymes that catalyze these transformations contribute to the complexity of biol. systems. Anal. of the available genome sequences, as well as results from prio ...
The famous min-cut, max-flow theorem states that a source node can send a commodity through a network to a sink node at the rate determined by the flow of the min-cut separating the source and the sink. Recently it has been shown that by linear re-encoding ...
