      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      In this paper we provide a characterization of universal stability for digraphs in the general case that the packets are not restricted to follow simple paths. Furthermore, we consider a variation of the Nearest To Go ...

      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      We study universal stability of directed and undirected graphs in the adversarial queueing model for static packet routing. In this setting, packets are injected in some edge and have to traverse a predefined path before ...

      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      We discuss two notions of functional oracle for logarithmic space-bounded machines, which differ in whether there is only one oracle tape for both the query and the answer or a separate tape for the answer, which can still ...

    • Adversarial models for priority-based networks 

      Álvarez Faura, M. del Carme; Díaz Cort, Josep; Blesa Aguilera, Maria Josep; Fernández Anta, Antonio; Serna Iglesias, María José (2003-06)
      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      We propose several variations of the adversarial queueing model. The priority model takes into account the case in which the packets can have different priorities, assigned by the adversary at injection time. The ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      We introduce Celebrity games, a new model of network creation games. In this model players have weights (W being the sum of all the player's weights) and there is a critical distance ß as well as a link cost a. The cost ...

      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      In this paper, we consider random communication requirements and several cost measures for a particular model of tree routing on a complete network. First we show that a random tree does not give any approximation. Then ...

    • Continuous monitoring in the dynamic sensor field model 

      Álvarez Faura, M. del Carme; Díaz Cort, Josep; Dieter Wilhelm, Mitsche; Serna Iglesias, María José (2011-05)
      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      In this work we consider the problem of continuously monitoring a collection of data sets produced by sensors placed on moving or static targets. We propose a modification of the static sensor field model (SSSF) [2] to ...

    • Els Límits de la computació : indecidibilitat i NP-completesa 

      Serna Iglesias, María José; Álvarez Faura, M. del Carme; Cases Muñoz, Rafel; Lozano Boixadors, Antoni (Edicions UPC, 2001)
