This paper reviews the model of interactive Markov chains (IMCs, for short), an extension of labelled transition systems with exponentially delayed transitions. We show that IMCs a...
Microsoft SQL Server was successful for many years for transaction processing and decision support workloads with neither merge join nor hash join, relying entirely on nested loop...
With standard assumptions the routing and wavelength assignment problem (RWA) can be viewed as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). The problem, however, defies an exact solution bec...
In this work, we quantitatively investigate the ways in which a given person influences the joint turn-taking behavior in a conversation. After collecting an auditory database of ...
