A computer program is described to calculate momentum distributions in stripping and diffraction dissociation reactions. A Glauber model is used with the scattering wavefunctions ...
Clustering methods for data-mining problems must be extremely scalable. In addition, several data mining applications demand that the clusters obtained be balanced, i.e., be of ap...
We study large-scale service systems with multiple customer classes and many statistically identical servers. The following question is addressed: How many servers are required (s...
