Local search (LS) algorithms are among the most powerful techniques for solving computationally hard problems in combinatorial optimization. These algorithms could be viewed as &q...
In this paper we identify a class of Quasi-Birth-and-Death (QBD) processes where the transitions to higher (resp. lower) levels are restricted to occur only from (resp. to) a subs...
Voice over IP (VoIP) systems are gaining in popularity as the technology for transmitting voice traffic over IP networks. As the popularity of VoIP systems increases, they are bei...
In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for extracting the complete statistical distribution of the input impedance of interconnect structures in the presence of a large n...
Today's natural language processing systems are growing more complex with the need to incorporate a wider range of language resources and more sophisticated statistical metho...
