  • Network assisted file system consistency checking 
    Zehender, Nicholas (Nicholas G.) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
    This thesis reports on the design and implementation of Network Assisted NFSCK (or NAN), an extension to NFSCK, a research project about checking file system consistency at NetApp. NFSCK requires disk space to store temporary ...
  • A network-based primal-dual solution methodology for the multi-commodity network flow problem 
    Barnhart, Cynthia (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
  • Network Clubhouse : a constructive learning environment for children 
    Shih, Loren C (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
  • Network coded wireless architecture 
    Katti, Sachin Rajsekhar (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
    Wireless mesh networks promise cheap Internet access, easy deployment, and extended range. In their current form, however, these networks suffer from both limited throughput and low reliability; hence they cannot meet the ...
  • Network coding 
    Lehman, April Rasala, 1977- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    In the network coding problem, there are k commodities each with an associated message Mi, a set of sources that know Mi and a set of sinks that request Mi. Each edge in the graph may transmit any function of the messages. ...
  • Network coding for anonymous broadcast 
    Sergeev, Ivan A (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
    This thesis explores the use of network coding for anonymous broadcast. Network coding, the technique of transmitting or storing mixtures of messages rather than individual messages, can provide anonymity with its mixing ...
  • Network coding for delay challenged environments 
    Lucani, Daniel Enrique (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    Delay is a fundamental problem of data communication and networks, a problem that is not usually addressed in classical coding, information or networking theory. We focus on the general problem of delay challenged networks. ...
  • Network coding for robust wireless networks 
    Kim, MinJi, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Wireless networks and communications promise to allow improved access to services and information, ubiquitous connectivity, and mobility. However, current wireless networks are not well-equipped to meet the high bandwidth ...
  • Network coding for speedup in switches 
    Kim, MinJi, M. Eng. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
    Network coding, which allows mixing of data at intermediate network nodes, is known to increase the throughput of networks. In particular, it is known that linear network coding in a crossbar switch can sustain traffic ...
  • Network coding, multi-packet reception, and feedback : design tools for wireless broadcast networks 
    Rezaee, Arman (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
    In this thesis, we address the combination of three technologies in wireless broadcast networks: network coding, multi-packet reception (MPR) and feedback. We will primarily discuss the performance of a single-hop network, ...
  • Network design and fleet allocation model for vessel operation 
    Li, Xiaojing, S.M. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
    Containership operators in the U.S. are confronted with a number of problems in the way they make critical fleet allocation decisions to meet the increase of shippers' demands. Instead of the empirical approach, this ...
  • Network design and safety stock placement for a multi-echelon supply chain 
    Gupta, Hitesh (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
    With the increasing complexities in supply chains and increasing global trade, integrated supply chain network design is utilized by the firms in order to reduce the overall cost while meeting the customer demand with ...
  • Network design problems for improving facility locations 
    Ingco, Divinagracia I. (Divinagracia Ilagan) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
  • A network development and runtime environment for StarLogo TNG 
    Jackman, John Daniel, III (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
    StarLogo: The Next Generation aims to introduce students to programming. The StarLogo application is frequently used in a classroom setting, but the effectiveness of StarLogo is limited as long as students cannot interact ...
  • Network driven motion estimation for wireless video terminals 
    Rabiner, Wendi Beth (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
  • Networked control of aircraft operations at airports and in terminal areas 
    Khadilkar, Harshad (Harshad Dilip) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
    The goal of this thesis is to develop a control strategy for airport operations that integrates the management of arrivals and departures. The strategy is based on four central ideas: (1) the objective of reducing aircraft ...
  • Networked governance : China's changing approach to transboundary environmental management 
    Nielsen, Erik, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
    Not long ago, China's environmental problems would have barely mattered beyond its borders. Now, while Chinese policy-makers have begun to tackle a wide range of domestic environmental challenges, the transboundary impact ...
  • Networked tactics for gender representation in the news 
    Matias, J. Nathan (Jorge Nathan) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
    This thesis presents research on gender disparities in online news, followed with three open source designs that attempt to address those disparities. Open Gender Tracker is a platform that applies automated gender analysis ...
  • A network element based fault tolerant processor 
    Abler, Todd A. (Todd Alan) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
  • Network flow problems and congestion games : complexity and approximation results 
    Meyers, Carol, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
    (cont.) We first address the complexity of finding an optimal minimum cost solution to a congestion game. We consider both network and general congestion games, and we examine several variants of the problem concerning the ...
