In a typical reinforcement learning (RL) setting details of the environment are not given explicitly but have to be estimated from observations. Most RL approaches only optimize th...
In this paper, we address the rate control problem for layered multicast traffic, with the objective of solving a generalized throughput/fairness objective. Our approach is based o...
—Information about the spectral reflectance of a color surface is useful in many applications. Assuming that reflectance functions can be adequately approximated by a linear comb...
Quantitative performance modeling of complex information systems is of immense importance for designing enterprise e-business infrastructures and applications. In this paper, we p...
—Web caching and replication techniques increase accessibility of Web contents and reduce Internet bandwidth requirements. In this paper, we are considering the replica placement...
