Design of Large-scale Optical Networks

We consider the problem of designing a network of optical cross-connects (OXCs) to provide end-to-end lightpath services to large numbers of label switched routers (LSRs). We present a set of heuristic algorithms to address the combined problem of physical topology design and logical topology design. Unlike previous studies which were limited to small topologies, we have applied our algorithms ...

COMPUTATIONALLY EFFICIENT OPTIMUM DESIGN OF LARGE SCALE STEEL FRAMES

Computational cost of metaheuristic based optimum design algorithms grows excessively with structure size. This results in computational inefficiency of modern metaheuristic algorithms in tackling optimum design problems of large scale structural systems. This paper attempts to provide a computationally efficient optimization tool for optimum design of large scale steel frame structures to AISC...

High dimensional consensus in large-scale networks: Theory and applications

In this thesis, we develop the theory of High Dimensional Consensus (HDC), a general class of distributed algorithms in large-scale networks. HDC relies only on (i) local information, (ii) local communication, and (iii) low-order computation, and, hence, is ideally suited to implement network tasks under resource constraints, e.g., in sparse networks with a limited computation budget. HDC, in g...
