This paper initiates research on the foundations of ranking systems, a fundamental ingredient of basic e-commerce and Internet Technologies. In order to understand the essence and...
We present a technique to approximate the worst-case execution time that combines structural analysis with a loop-bounding algorithm based on local induction variable analysis. St...
Min-max functions are dynamic programming operators of zero-sum deterministic games with finite state and action spaces. The problem of computing the linear growth rate of the or...
A task that suspends itself to wait for an I/O completion or to wait for an event from another node in distributed environments is called an I/O blocking task. In conventional har...
This paper considers the development of a general framework for the analysis of transmit beamforming methods in multiple antenna systems with finite-rate feedback. Inspired by the...
