Stochastic Optimization Models for Distributed Communications Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to formally describe new optimization models for distributed telecommunication networks. Modern distributed networks put more focus on the processing of information and less on the actual transportation of data, than we are traditionally used to in telecommunications. This paper introduces new models for decision support at operational, tactical and strategic levels to help deal with this change of focus. This is done by rst deening the technological framework we are working within. Afterwards we look at the diierent types of uncertainty and decisions we need to model. We treat uncertainty and decision-making in the setting of stochastic integer programming to describe a set of new optimization models for distributed networks.

An Inexact-Fuzzy-Stochastic Optimization Model for a Closed Loop Supply Chain Network Design Problem
The development of optimization and mathematical models for closed loop supply chain (CLSC) design has attracted considerable interest over the past decades. However, the uncertainties that are inherent in the network design and the complex interactions among various uncertain parameters are challenging the capabilities of the developed tools. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to propose a n...

متن کاملStochastic Power Control for Time-Varying Long-Term Fading Wireless Networks
A new time-varying (TV) long-term fading (LTF) channel model which captures both the space and time variations of wireless systems is developed. The proposed TV LTF model is based on a stochastic differential equation driven by Brownian motion. This model is more realistic than the static models usually encountered in the literature. It allows viewing the wireless channel as a dynamical system,...

Motivated by machine learning applications in networks of sensors, internet-of-things (IoT) devices, and autonomous agents, we propose techniques for distributed stochastic convex learning from high-rate data streams. The setup involves a network of nodes—each one of which has a stream of data arriving at a constant rate—that solve a stochastic convex optimization problem by collaborating with ...
