On the Approximation of the Linear Combination of Log-Normal RVs via Pearson Type IV Distribution: Application to UWB Performanc
— Approximating the sum of Log–Normal random variables (RVs) is a long–standing open issue, in the old and recent literature, and many approaches have been proposed to deal w...

Efficient Hardware Generation of Random Variates with Arbitrary Distributions
This paper presents a technique for efficiently generating random numbers from a given probability distribution. This is achieved by using a generic hardware architecture, which t...

Approximating multi-skill blocking systems by HyperExponential Decomposition
We consider multi-class blocking systems in which jobs require a single processing step. There are groups of servers that can each serve a different subset of all job classes. The...

Bi-objective Approximation Scheme for Makespan and Reliability Optimization on Uniform Parallel Machines
We study the problem of scheduling independent tasks on a set of related processors which have a probability of failure governed by an exponential law. We are interested in the bi-...

A Novel Disambiguation Method for Unification-Based Grammars Using Probabilistic Context-Free Approximations
We present a novel disambiguation method for unification-based grammars (UBGs). In contrast to other methods, our approach obviates the need for probability models on the UBG side...
