An efficient cancellation scheme is essential to the performance of Time Warp simulations. The pitfalls of rollback echoes, chasing hazards and cascading rollbacks can be identi...
Stochastic Flow Models (SFMs) are stochastic ystems that abstract the dynamics of complex discrete event systems involving the control of sharable resources. SFMs have been used to...
We describe a reputation-driven market that motivates human computation sellers (workers) to produce optimal levels of quality when quality is not immediately measurable and contr...
