Abstract—This paper presents a model and theory for streaming layered video. We model the bandwidth available to the streaming application as a stochastic process whose statistic...
As views in a data warehouse become more complex, the view maintenance process can become very complicated and potentially very inefficient. Storing auxiliary views in the warehou...
We study the problem of estimating the average of a Lipschitz continuous function f defined over a metric space, by querying f at only a single point. More specifically, we explore...
Background: False occurrences of functional motifs in protein sequences can be considered as random events due solely to the sequence composition of a proteome. Here we use a nume...
We consider opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) strategies for a transmitter in a multichannel wireless system, where a channel may or may not be available and the transmitter must...
