Abstract

We consider the emph{QoS-aware Multicommodity Flow} problem, a
natural generalization of the weighted multicommodity flow problem
where the demands and commodity values are elastic to the
Quality-of-Service characteristics of the underlying network. The
problem is fundamental in transportation planning and also has
important applications beyond the transportation domain. We
provide a FPTAS for the QoS-aware Multicommodity Flow problem by
building upon a Lagrangian relaxation method and a recent FPTAS
for the non-additive shortest path problem.
