We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...
Current distributed parallel platforms can provide the resources required to execute a scientific application efficiently. However, when these platforms are shared by multiple use...
Abstract. An interesting class of production/inventory control problems considers a single product and a single stocking location, given a stochastic demand with a known non-statio...
Parallel web pages are important source of training data for statistical machine translation. In this paper, we present a new approach to sentence alignment on parallel web pages....
Stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) have proven to be a powerful and enduring graphically-oriented framework for modelling and performance analysis of complex systems. This tutorial focu...
