We analyze the relationship between the expected packet delay in rooted tree networks and the distribution of time needed for a packet to cross an edge using convexity-based stoch...
Recent work on online auctions for digital goods has explored the role of optimal stopping theory — particularly secretary problems — in the design of approximately optimal on...

: If Topic Maps should be exchanged in distributed environments a common semantic problem occurs: Do two Topics refer to the same Subject? If they describe the same Subject the giv...
Background: Protein structure comparison is a central issue in structural bioinformatics. The standard dissimilarity measure for protein structures is the root mean square deviati...
Numerical possibility distributions can encode special convex families of probability measures. The connection between possibility theory and probability theory is potentially fru...
