Obtaining Optimal Coteries that Maximize Availability in General Topology Networks

We discuss availability optimization of quorum-based mutual exclusion mechanisms in unreliable networks. The availability of such a mechanism depends critically on the coterie (a set of node groups called quorums) that the mechanism adopts. Previously, an integerprogramming approach was proposed for obtaining optimal coteries that maximize availability. However, this approach cannot be applied ...

Routing and Admission Control in General Topology Networks

Emerging high speed Broadband Integrated Services Digital Networks (B-ISDN) will carry tra c for services such as video-on-demand and video teleconferencing { that require resource reservation along the path on which the tra c is sent. As a result, such networks will need e ective admission control algorithms. The simplest approach is to use greedy admission control; in other words, accept ever...

Optimal topology control for balanced energy consumption in wireless networks

Hosts in wireless networks are usually powered by batteries, thus the lifetime of a network depends on the battery life of each individual host. One major solution to improve energy-efficiency is to minimize the total energy consumption. However, battery energy is a local resource, to save energy at each host and balance the energy consumption among all the hosts in the network appear to be mor...
