Placing shadows is difficult task since shadows depend on the relative positions of lights and objects in an unintuitive manner. To simplify the task of the modeler, we present a ...
Many applications require optimizing an unknown, noisy function that is expensive to evaluate. We formalize this task as a multiarmed bandit problem, where the payoff function is ...

In the framework of GridRPC, a new function that allows direct data transfer between RPC servers is implemented for efficient execution of a Task Sequencing job in a grid environ...
There is an increasing need for new Web server architectures that are application-centric, simple, small, and pervasive in nature. In this paper, we present a novel architecture f...
In this article, we present a novel discrete-time Markov chain model of book-ahead bandwidthsharing mechanisms. We use this analytical model and a simulation model to understand t...
