— In this paper, we present a framework for the analysis of a set of adaptive variable-bit-rate voice sources in a packet network. The instantaneous bit rate of each source is de...
In most network models for quality of service support, the communication links interconnecting the switches and gateways are assumed to have fixed bandwidth and zero error rate. T...
Visibly Pushdown Automata (VPA) are a special case of pushdown machines where the stack operations are driven by the input. In this paper, we consider VPA with two stacks, namely 2...
Classically, cognition assumes that the underlying mechanisms of thinking are based on symbol manipulation processes. This assumption has several drawbacks, such as the issue of w...
R-max is a very simple model-based reinforcement learning algorithm which can attain near-optimal average reward in polynomial time. In R-max, the agent always maintains a complet...
