SUMMARY:System Utility Maximisation With Fast Network and User Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rajesh Sundaresan (Indian Institute of Science\nDept. 
 of Electrical Communicatin Engineering\nBangalore 560012)\n\nAbstract: \nA
 bstract: Kelly\, Maulloo\, and Tan (1998) proposed a decomposition of a sy
 stem utility maximisation problem into a network utility maximisation prob
 lem\, to be solved by a network entity\, and a set of decoupled user optim
 isation problems\, to be solved by the individual users. They proposed an 
 iterative scheme where the users signal their willingness to pay (a scalar
  quantity) while the network signals the charges per unit flow. Their sche
 me involves a slow adaptation by the network and a fast adaptation by the 
 users. Their scheme converges to the system optimal solution and has the a
 dvantage that the network entity need not know the users' utility function
 s and the individual users need not know the network state or utility func
 tions of other users. In this talk\, we will discuss a special case and a 
 modified algorithm where the network also makes a fast adapation. We will 
 then show that the algorithm converges to the global optimum solution.\n
