Metric Representations Of Networks
The goal of this thesis is to analyze networks by first projecting them onto structured metric-like spaces -- governed by a generalized triangle inequality -- and then leveraging this structure to facilitate the analysis. Networks encode relationships between pairs of nodes, however, the …

Optimization problems in networks and queues
… and extends to general weighted and asymmetric networks. The second problem considers the dynamic batching of online arrivals, a problem motivated by service systems and data-processing applications where larger batches enjoy economies of scale. The work formalizes the tradeoff …

Networking Requirements and Solutions for a TV WWW Browser
Most people cannot access the World Wide Web (WWW) and other Internet services because access requires a complex and expensive computer. Moreover, the bandwidth offered to the general public is mostly limited by today's analog modems through standard telephone lines. An inexpensive, easy-to-use …
