— This paper presents Pirrus, a replica management system that addresses the problem of providing data availability on a wireless sensor network. Pirrus uses probabilistic failur...
Abstract— We present a systematic method for model reduction of a class of input-quantized systems in the max-plus algebra. We consider a generalization of the flow shop with ...
— Multi-robot systems require efficient and accurate planning in order to perform mission-critical tasks. However, algorithms that find the optimal solution are usually computa...
In this paper, we study a particular subclass of partially observable models, called quasi-deterministic partially observable Markov decision processes (QDET-POMDPs), characterize...
We address the combinatorial optimization problem of finding the most influential nodes on a large-scale social network for two widely-used fundamental stochastic diffusion models...
