Ricevo e inoltro il messaggio relativo a una borsa di dottorato. Gli interessati sono pregati di contattare Laurent Miclo entro il 6 giugno 2016 PhD opening Title: Study of the CSMA-QB access protocol Keywords: Convergence and long-time behavior of Markov processes, functional limit theorems, stochastic networks, independent sets Co-supervision: Laurent Miclo http://perso.math.univ-toulouse.fr/miclo/ Institut de Mathematiques de Toulouse, Universite Paul Sabatier, Toulouse Florian Simatos http://personnel.isae.fr/florian-simatos/ Departement d’Ingenierie des Systemes Complexes, ISAE–Supaero, Toulouse, et Institut de Mathematiques de Toulouse, Universite Paul Sabatier, Toulouse Contact: laurent.miclo(a)math.univ-toulouse.fr Localisation: ISAE–Supaero and Universite Paul Sabatier, Toulouse Summary of the project Context. The performance of wireless networks where users share the air as communication medium is strongly limited by the electromagnetic interference phenomenon: two users who are close and communicate on the same frequency will interfere, which may potentially lead to losing the information transmitted. Access protocols are here to mitigate this effect and thus play a key role in the performance of modern >From a scientific standpoint, this is a challenging problem that has attracted considerable attention from both the computer science and applied probability communities for more than 30 years. Recently, a new class of access protocols – called adaptive CSMA protocols – has emerged, and which seems very promising. These protocols were for instance shown to enjoy the very desirable property of being maximally stable. The goal of this project is to advance the state-of-the-art on the particular adaptive CSMA protocols called CSMA-QB protocols (where QB stands for Queue-Based), which to date is very limited. In particular, we will aim to prove theoretical results that shed light on the achievable trade-off between throughput and delay. Probabilistic model. From a technical standpoint, we will study the following model. Each user of the network is represented by the node of a graph G, called interference graph, and such that two neighboring nodes cannot be active simultaneously. Packets to be transmitted arrrive at each node over time, and the goal is to choose which nodes are active at every moment. CSMA-QB solves this problem in the following manner: when a node is active, it de-activates at a constant rate and when it is active and none of its neighbors is, then it activates at a rate that depends on the number of packets in its backlog. The dependency is given by a function ψ called activation function. The general goal of the thesis is to understand the influence of the topology G and of the choice of ψ on the protocol performance. This involves classical probabilistic tools, and we will in particular study the mixing time of Glauber dynamic as well as the stochastic averaging property, both of which play a key role in the analysis of this protocol.

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario M. Reimher, Penn State University
by Laura M. Sangalli 30 May '16

30 May '16

Si avvisa che in data 17/6/2016, alle ore 15:00, presso Aula Seminari "Saleri" VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Matthew Reimher, Department of Statistics, Penn State University Titolo: A Geometric Approach to Confidence Regions and Bands for Functional Parameters Abstract: Functional data analysis, FDA, is now a well established discipline of statistics, with its core concepts and perspectives in place. Despite this, there are still fundamental statistical questions which have received relatively little attention. One of these is the systematic development of techniques for constructing confidence regions for functional parameters. I will present new work that takes a geometric approach to developing, understanding, and visualizing such regions. Simulations and an application to Fractional Anisotropy will also be presented. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario A. Kashlak - Politecnico di Milano
by Laura M. Sangalli 30 May '16

30 May '16

Si avvisa che in data 01-06-2016, alle ore 14:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario Relatore: Adam Kashlak, Cambridge University Titolo: Inference on covariance operators via concentration inequalities Abstract: Inference on covariance operators is an important part of functional data analysis. Panaretos, Kraus, and Maddocks (2010) compare covariance operators for Gaussian process data. Pigoli, Aston, Dryden, and Secchi (2014) consider a variety of metrics over the space of covariance operators. In this talk, we propose a novel approach to the analysis of covariance operators making use of concentration inequalities. First, non-asymptotic confidence sets are constructed for such operators. Then, subsequent applications including a k sample test for equality of covariance, a functional data classifier, and an expectation-maximization style clustering algorithm are derived and tested on both simulated and phoneme data. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
