Robust Controller Design for AQM and $\mathcal{H}^{\infty}$ -Performance Analysis
Active Queue Management (AQM) has recently been proposed in [1] to support the end-to-end congestion control for TCP traffic regulation on the... -
Control of Communication Networks Using Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis of Stochastic Fluid Models
Managing and operating large scale communication networks is a challenging task and it is only expected to get worse as networks grow larger. The... -
State-Space Models for Control and Identification
In the last two decades, design and performance evaluation of efficient congestion control methods for packet-switching computer communication... -
Position and Force Tracking in Bilateral Teleoperation
A teleoperator is a dual robot system in which a remote slave robot tracks the motion of a master robot, which is, in turn, commanded by a human... -
On the Optimization of Load Balancing in Distributed Networks in the Presence of Delay
Distributing the total computational load across available processors is referred to as load balancing in the literature. A typical distributed... -
An Introduction to Nonlinear Fault Diagnosis with an Application to a Congested Internet Router
We aim at extending a recent linear theory on fault diagnosis [8, 9] to nonlinear systems by utilising, like Staroswiecki et al. [39], and Diop et... -
Communication Requirements for Networked Control
There is an increasing interest in studying control systems employing multiple sensors and actuators that are geographically distributed.... -
Suboptimal Control Techniques for Networked Hybrid Systems
Over the past decade, major advancements in the areas of communications and computer networks [20] have made it possible for control engineers to... -
A Sliding Mode Approach to Traffic Engineering in Computer Networks
In this chapter, we address the problem of optimal Traffic Engineering (TE) in computer networks; i.e., determining an optimal traffic allocation in... -
Modeling and Designing the Internet Congestion Control
The Internet is a set of interconnected packet switching networks each of them having its own protocol. It was soon recognized the importance of... -
Delay Effects on the Asymptotic Stability of Various Fluid Models in High-Performance Networks
Roughly speaking, a communication network consists of a collection of (network users/sources) elements interconnected to transfer information or data... -
Closed Loop Control of a Load Balancing Network with Time Delays and Processor Resource Constraints
The objective of parallel processing is to reduce wall-clock time and increase the size of solvable problems by dividing the code into multiple... -
Stabilized Vegas
TCP Vegas was introduced in 1994 [5] as an alternative to TCP Reno. Unlike Reno (or its variants such as NewReno and SACK), that uses packet loss as... -
Saturated Controller Design of an ABR Explicit Rate Algorithm for ATM Switches
The transmission of multimedia traffic on the broadband integrated service digital networks (B-ISDN) has created the need for new transport... -
Global Stability of Nonlinear Congestion Control with Time-Delay
In recent years large strides have been taken in analytical approaches to network congestion control. These methods, originating in the academic... -
Models and Methods for Analyzing Internet Congestion Control Algorithms
Congestion control in the Internet was introduced in the late 1980s by Van Jacobson [9]. Jacobson’s algorithm which is implemented in the transport... -
Board gender diversity and corporate social performance: the moderating effect of family firms
Although previous research has separately investigated the impact of board gender diversity (BGD) and ownership structure on corporate social...
