A Two Phase Investment Game for Competitive Opinion Dynamics in Social Networks
Swapnil Dhamal, Walid Ben-Ameur, Tijani Chahed +1
We propose a setting for two-phase opinion dynamics in social networks, where a node's final opinion in the first phase acts as its initial biased opinion in the second phase. In t…
A Stochastic Game Framework for Analyzing Computational Investment Strategies in Distributed Computing
Swapnil Dhamal, Walid Ben-Ameur, Tijani Chahed +3
We study a stochastic game framework with dynamic set of players, for modeling and analyzing their computational investment strategies in distributed computing. Players obtain a ce…
A Lagrange decomposition based Branch and Bound algorithm for the Optimal Mapping of Cloud Virtual Machines
Guanglei Wang, Walid Ben-Ameur, Adam Ouorou
One of the challenges of cloud computing is to optimally and efficiently assign virtual ma- chines to physical machines. The aim of telecommunication operators is to minimize the m…
Optimal Multiphase Investment Strategies for Influencing Opinions in a Social Network
Swapnil Dhamal, Walid Ben-Ameur, Tijani Chahed +1
We study the problem of optimally investing in nodes of a social network in a competitive setting, where two camps aim to maximize adoption of their opinions by the population. In…
