Abstract-- We consider code division multiple access communication over a binary input additive white Gaussian noise channel using random spreading. For a general class of symmetri...
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
The paper presents a new distributed metaheuristic algorithm in an optimal control problem related to the cooling process in the continuous casting of steel. The optimization task...

We give a novel transformation for proving termination of higher-order rewrite systems in the format of Inductive Data Type Systems (IDTSs) by Blanqui, Jouannaud and Okada. The tr...
This paper focuses on designing incentive mechanisms for overlay multicast systems. Existing proposals on the problem are no longer able to provide proper incentives when rational...
