It is well known that the maximum weighted independent set (MWIS) problem is NP-complete. Moreover, optimal scheduling in wireless networks requires solving a MWIS problem. Conseq...
Monte Carlo techniques have long been used (since Buffon's experiment to approximate the value of by tossing a needle onto striped paper) to analyze phenomena which, due to ...

Reinforcement learning problems are commonly tackled with temporal difference methods, which use dynamic programming and statistical sampling to estimate the long-term value of ta...
Abstract— In this paper we consider several problems involving control with limited actuation and sampling rates. Event-based control has emerged as an attractive approach for ad...
Our main goal in this paper is to study the scheduling of parallel BSP tasks on clusters of computers. We focus our attention on special characteristics of BSP tasks, which can use...
