A development environment for applications specified in an extended version of a previously developed coordination model based on associatively broadcast interactions is presented....
In the reordering buffer problem, we are given an input sequence of requests for service each of which corresponds to a point in a metric space. The cost of serving the requests h...
Pair approximations have often been used to predict equilibrium conditions in spatially-explicit epidemiological and ecological systems. In this work, we investigate whether this ...
We propose a method to improve approximate inference methods by correcting for the influence of loops in the graphical model. The method is a generalization and alternative implem...
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
