Title:
Data Aggregation: Balancing Delay and Communication Costs
Abstract:
Making a choice between waiting and taking action is a fundamental and often a nontrivial problem. Action is usually preceded by initialization costs, which suggests postponing action and combining many similar events together. On the other hand, there are usually delay costs attached to postponing action. Both of these two costs cannot be minimized simultaneously, and minimizing the sum leads to difficult combinatorial problems.
In this talk, we introduce a data aggregation model with a hierarchical structure on the initialization costs. We also present new results related to our recently submitted manuscript 'Centralized Algorithms for Data Aggregation in Tree Networks'.
