We consider a system with a dispatcher and several identical servers in parallel. Task processing times are known upon arrival. We first study the impact of the local scheduling ...
The study of Joint Source-Channel Coding (JSCC) systems faces one major challenge in obtaining an analytical expression for the function that links end-to-end distortion with chann...
Wireless sensor networks are often studied with the goal of removing information from the network as efficiently as possible. However, when the application also includes an actuato...
This work analyses the accuracy of estimating the location of 3D landmarks and characteristic image structures. Based on nonlinear estimation theory we study the minimal stochastic...
—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
