The performance of multi-hop CSMA/CA networks has in most cases been evaluated via simulations, or analytically using a perfect collision channel model. Using such methods, one ca...
Abstract For many centuries scientists have wondered how the human brain represents thoughts in terms of the underlying biology of neural activity. Philosophers, linguists, cogniti...
Scheduling data processing workflows (dataflows) on the cloud is a very complex and challenging task. It is essentially an optimization problem, very similar to query optimizati...

—Stochastic relaxation aims at finding the minimum of a fitness function by identifying a proper sequence of distributions, in a given model, that minimize the expected value o...
This paper addresses the point-wise estimation of differential properties of a smooth manifold S--a curve in the plane or a surface in 3D--assuming a point cloud sampled over S is...
