—The paper analyzes the performance of the bandwidth allocation process over satellite communication systems in presence of specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The re...
A binary decision diagram (BDD) is a directed acyclic graph for representing a Boolean function. BDD’s are widely used in various areas which require Boolean function manipulatio...
The precise specification of reward functions for Markov decision processes (MDPs) is often extremely difficult, motivating research into both reward elicitation and the robust so...
Reward-based scheduling refers to the problem in which there is a reward associated with the execution of a task. In our framework, each real-time task comprises a mandatory and a...
We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
