The duration of the Minimal Route Advertisement Interval (MRAI) and the implementation of MRAI timers have a significant influence on the convergence time of the Border Gateway Pr...
One of the main reasons of the recent success of peer to peer (P2P) file sharing systems such as BitTorrent is its built-in tit-for-tat mechanism. In this paper, we model the band...
Abstract--Motivated by applications of distributed linear estimation, distributed control, and distributed optimization, we consider the question of designing linear iterative algo...
Abstract--Max-product "belief propagation" (BP) is an iterative, message-passing algorithm for finding the maximum a posteriori (MAP) assignment of a discrete probability...
This paper analyses the Contrastive Divergence algorithm for learning statistical parameters. We relate the algorithm to the stochastic approximation literature. This enables us t...
