We consider how to efficiently allocate computing resources in order to infer the best of a finite set of simulated systems, where best means that the system has the maximal expec...
When controlling dynamic systems, such as mobile robots in uncertain environments, there is a trade off between risk and reward. For example, a race car can turn a corner faster b...
Abstract. In this paper, the resource availability issue has been addressed with respect to the intermittent connectivity and dynamic presence of peers in a P2P system. We aim to m...
The performance of host communication subsystems is an important research topic in computer networks.1 Performance metrics such as throughput, delay, and packet loss are important...
