Title: Competitive equilibrium as a ranking mechanism (with Ady Pauzner)
Abstract: We use competitive prices in a model of exchange economy to generate ranking
over nodes (e.g., web pages, articles, friends) in a network. We show that the widely
used Google’s PageRank comes as a special case when the nodes are represented by
Cobb-Douglas utility maximizers. We further use the economic metaphor to combine between
(normalized) citation index and PageRank by imposing tax on consumers and redistribute
the resulting revenue among them.
workshop
occasion, we are organizing a workshop titled
“Emerging Topics in Interconnected Systems: From Biological to Manmade Networks” to be held at MIT in Cambridge MA on Sunday, June 24, 2012 – Monday, June 25, 2012.
Sessions to be held will focus on the following interconnected systems: biological, social, power, transportation and communication networks. Some of the most well-known and respected senior leaders of our field will be invited to present their vision for the future as part of that session honoring Professor Dahleh.

Resource allocation in multi-hop wifi networks
Abstract
To optimize resource allocation (throughput and delay) in multi-hop ad-hoc networks the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance(CSMA/CA) performance can be combined with the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), preallocating temporal slots in which different sets of nodes are allowed to contend for the channel access, via a map coloring algorithm.
Contention based approach and scheduling can be adaptively combined by identifying a threshold in performance that is traffic-aware. We implement a game theoretical approach to allocate some extra slots to equalize resources among nodes and increase the average throughput minimizing the queue length.
