In this paper we introduce the knapsack problem for perishable inventories concerning the optimal dynamic allocation of a collection of products to a limited knapsack. The motivation for designing such a problem comes from ...

In this paper we address the problem of fast and fair transmission of flows in a router, which is a fundamental issue in networks like the Internet. We model the interaction between a source using the Transmission Control ...

This paper is concerned with a new type of congestion control method that we call anticipative congestion control, which exploits probabilistic information available at a network node about congestion at other nodes. ...

In this paper we study three opportunistic schedulers for the problem of optimal multi-class flow-level scheduling in wireless downlink and uplink systems. For user channels we employ the Gilbert-Elliot model of good and ...
