We address the problem of designing distributed Multiple Access Control algorithms for wireless networks under the SINR interference model. In the proposed framework, time is [...]

Auctions have regained interest from researchers due to its differentnew applications (Google AdWords auctions, cloud computing auctions,privacy auctions, and white spaces spectrum auctions). In this [...]

For analyzing network performance issues, there can be great utility in having the capability to measure directly from the perspective of end systems. Because end [...]

For high (N)-dimensional feature spaces, we consider detection of an unknown, anomalous class of samples amongst a batch of collected samples (of size T), under [...]

Twitter produces several millions of short texts per hour. Monitoring information tendencies has become a key business. In particular the content provider can detect in advance which movie [...]

In the current work we deal with the problem of base station cooperation in the downlink of infinite wireless cellular networks.The positions of base stations [...]

Voting systems can be used in any situation where several entities are to make a decision together. However, the sincere vote may lead to a [...]

Shannon's fundamental bound for perfect secrecy stated that the entropy of the secret message U cannot be larger than the entropy of the secret key [...]

While the Internet has succeeded far beyond expectations, the success has also stretched its initial design assumptions. Since applications operate in terms of data and [...]

"Information is the distinguishing mark of our era, permeating every facet of our lives. An ability to understand and harness information has the potential for [...]

About 4 talks, more details will follow.

Nearly three decades after it was first diagnosed, the persistently full buffer problem, recently exposed as part of bufferbloat is still with us and made [...]

In this talk we will first present what a SINR diagram is and why it is important to the design of efficient algorithms for wireless [...]

Many applications (routers, traffic monitors, firewalls, etc.) need to send and receive packets at line rate even on very fast links. In this paper we [...]

An introduction to DIteration.

Daniel Kofman, the director of LINCS, introduces the lab.

In this talk, we consider a simple transient Markov process with an absorbing point to investigate the qualitative behavior of a large scale storage network [...]

ACM SIGMETRICS'12 Preview Talk This paper considers large scale distributed content serviceplatforms, such as peer-to-peer video-on-demand systems.Such systems feature two basic resources, namely storageand bandwidth. [...]

Abstract to be added.

Input-queued (IQ) switches are one of the referencearchitectures for the design of high-speed packet switches. Classical results in this field refer to the scenario in [...]

We present a first evaluation of the potential of an asynchronous distributed computation associated to the recently proposed approach, D-iteration: the D-iteration is a fluid [...]

We pose a few resource management problems in cellular networks, and propose solutions based on game theory. First, we investigate cooperation among cellular service providers. [...]

As we browse the web we are tracked by ad-networks, social networks and other third parties that build (supposedly) anonymized and incomplete records of users' [...]

In this paper, we present a software-based traffic classification engine running on off-the-shelf multi-core hardware, able to process in real-time aggregates of up to 15 [...]

We propose a novel manner to perform optical packet switching which does not require any prior electronicsignaling or header processing. The proposed packet switchingscheme can [...]

Some path problems cannot be modelled using semirings because the associated algebraic structure is not distributive. Rather than attempting to compute globally optimal paths with [...]

The Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm is expected to be one of the major innovations of the Future Internet. An ICN system can be characterized by [...]

Preview of talk at INFOCOM 2012 and associated workshop. In this work, we study the caching performance of Content Centric Networking (CCN), with special emphasis [...]

Preview of talk at INFOCOM 2012 and associated workshop. We introduce a rate-based congestion control mechanism for Content-Centric Networking (CCN). It builds on the fact [...]

Preview of talk at INFOCOM 2012 and associated workshop .Content-centric networking (CCN) brings aparadigm shift in the present Internet communication modelby addressing named-data instead of [...]

Preview of talk at INFOCOM 2012 and associated workshop. Users today connect to the Internet everywhere - from home, work, airports, friend's homes, and more. [...]

Preview of talk at INFOCOM 2012 and associated workshop. This paper studies the performance of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) when the nodes, that form [...]

Preview of talk at INFOCOM 2012 and associated workshop. In order to represent the set of transmitters simultaneously accessing a wireless network using carrier sensing [...]

One of the defining properties of small worlds is the prevalence of short paths connecting node pairs. Unfortunately, as a result the usual notion of [...]
