—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
This paper proposes to analyze two flow line systems in which we include possibilistic data -the priority-discipline is possibilistic instead of probabilistic- and measure the perf...
: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is arguably one of the most popular nature- inspired algorithms for real parameter optimization at present. The existing theoretical research on...
This paper addresses the problem of discovering conversational group dynamics from nonverbal cues extracted from thin-slices of interaction. We first propose and analyze a novel t...
We extend stochastic network optimization theory to treat networks with arbitrary sample paths for arrivals, channels, and mobility. The network can experience unexpected link or n...
