Game theory, as a powerful conceptual framework, has in the past decade or so been widely
applied to wireless communications in a variety of contexts. One such context is power …

We consider a mathematical model for streaming media packets (as the motivating key
example) from a transmitter buffer to a receiver over a wireless link while controlling the …

In many scheduling applications, minimizing delays is of high importance. One adverse
effect of such delays is that the reward for completion of a job may decay over time. Indeed …

The task of completing jobs with decaying value arises in a number of application areas
including healthcare operations, communications engineering, and perishable inventory …

This paper considers the problem of transmitting data packets from sensors recording health
information in a wireless body area network (WBAN). We model a resource-constrained …

Motivated by timeouts in Internet services, we consider networks of infinite server queues in
which routing decisions are based on deadlines. Specifically, at each node in the network …

Many algorithms in numerical analysis, operations research, and control theory can be
written as fixed point iterations of contraction maps. Because these algorithms are so …

Infinite horizon discounted cost Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are ubiquitous in
operations research, communications engineering, robotics, and a variety of other control …

Abstract Machine Learning (ML) in adult healthcare has demonstrated significant benefits in
a wide range of applications, and provides a proof-of-concept for extended work in …

Security threats to large-scale computing and networking infrastructures are increasingly
prevalent and difficult to manage. Because of cost, labor, and other operational constraints …
