Abstract. We describe a group membership protocol, called the timewheel group membership protocol, for a timed asynchronous distributed system. This protocol is a part of the timew...
The analysis of CMOS VLSI circuit switching current has become an increasingly important and difficult task from both a VLSI design and simulation software perspective. This paper...
Many routing problems in parallel processing, such as concentration and permutation problems, can be cast as sorting problems. In this paper, we consider the problem of sorting on ...
Minimum-error-rate training (MERT) is a bottleneck for current development in statistical machine translation because it is limited in the number of weights it can reliably optimi...
A general and expressive model of sequential decision making under uncertainty is provided by the Markov decision processes (MDPs) framework. Complex applications with very large ...
