چکیده
In large and complex communication networks, architectural decisions regarding functionality allocation are often more important than the details of the resultant resource allocation algorithms themselves. Optimization theory is a powerful tool for designing architectures and providing the structures algorithmic structures for communication networks. Starting with fair resource allocation as the goal, dual decomposition theory provides a powerful tool to assign functionalities to various network entities, to define signaling requirements, and to design network management and resource allocation algorithms, all of which are important components of a network architecture. In this project, our goal is to develop an analytical foundation for deriving alternative architectures and studying the robustness of these architectures to different algorithmic choices.

متن کاملCollaborative Information Seeking Behavior: Concepts and Theories
Background and Aim: Collaborative information seeking is an interaction among members of a group who purposefully try to access and share joint information. Although collaboration is a key component of information seeking behavior, but most of the studies in this area are focused on individual information seeking behavior and collaborative aspects are considered much less. As a result, there is...
