Strategic Arrivals into Queueing Networks: The Network Concert Queueing Game

Queueing networks are typically modelled assuming that the arrival process is exogenous, and unaffected by admission control, scheduling policies, etc. In many situations, however, users choose the time of their arrival strategically, taking delay and other metrics into account. In this paper, we develop a framework to study such strategic arrivals into queueing networks. We start by deriving a...

Guest Editorial Introduction to the Special Issue on Swarm Robotics

The field of robotics has expanded tremendously over last several decades. Researchers' attention has shifted from its early focus on industrial manipulators and individual mobile robot toward today's more challenging topics such as multi-robot systems, mobile sensor networks, and swarm robotics. Swarm Robotics is an emerging area which studies novel approaches to coordinate a large number of r...

Editorial introduction to the special issue on stress resilience

The journal Neurobiology of Stress was launched to address the needs of an expanding group of researchers investigating the neural underpinnings of the stress response, neural plasticity and adaptation as consequences of stress and the translation of these consequences to neuropsychiatric disease in humans. This growth of stress research was driven by an increased realization that exposure to a...

Editorial: Introduction to the Special Issue on Multimedia Data Mining

M ULTIMEDIA data mining refers to the study and research on the knowledge discovery in a multimedia database. Presumably, multimedia and data mining are two very in-terdisciplinary and multidisciplinary areas with independently and simultaneously rapid developments in recent years. This special issue focuses on the theme of merging multimedia and data mining research together to exploit the syn...
