In a recent paper, Opasanon and Miller-Hooks study multicriteria adaptive paths in stochastic time-varying networks. They propose a label correcting algorithm for finding the full set of efficient strategies. In this note we show that their algorithm is not correct, since it is based on a property that does not hold in general. Opasanon and Miller-Hooks also propose an algorithm for solving a p...

Time-varying networks describe a wide array of systems whose constituents and interactions evolve over time. They are defined by an ordered stream of interactions between nodes, yet they are often represented in terms of a sequence of static networks, each aggregating all edges and nodes present in a time interval of size Δt. In this work we quantify the impact of an arbitrary Δt on the descrip...

Abstruct-The random-code capacity region of the multiple-access arbitrarily varying channel subject to both state and input constraints is determined. Consideration of a simple erasure channel shows that the capacity region is not convex in general.

Different graph generalizations have been recently used in an ad-hoc manner to represent multilayer networks, i.e. systems formed by distinct layers where each layer can be seen as a network. Similar constructions have also been used to represent time-varying networks. We introduce the concept of MultiAspect Graph (MAG) as a graph generalization that we prove to be isomorphic to a directed grap...

• Delay sensitive multimedia applications are booming over a variety of time-varying networks (e.g. sensor networks, WiMax, Wireless LAN, etc.) • Existing dynamic distributed network environments cannot provide adequate support for delay-sensitive multimedia applications • This problem has been investigated for a decade, but we still do not have efficient solutions for it.
