The problem of finding the most probable (MAP) configuration in graphical models comes up in a wide range of applications. In a general graphical model this problem is NP hard, bu...
Abstract--In this paper, we analyze the problem of network disconnection in the context of large-scale P2P networks and understand how both static and dynamic patterns of node fail...
—It is a well known fact that user-chosen passwords are somewhat predictable: by using tools such as dictionaries or probabilistic models, attackers and password recovery tools c...
We study the problem of finding an outlier-free subset of a set of points (or a probability distribution) in n-dimensional Euclidean space. As in [BFKV 99], a point x is defined t...
— In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Load-Level-Based Admission Control mechanism (LLAC) for optical burst-switched networks in a multilink scenario. The goal of th...
