This paper presents a novel broadband multimedia service called TV-Anytime. The basic idea of this service is to store broadcast media assets onto media server systems and allow c...
A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
POMDPs are a popular framework for representing decision making problems that contain uncertainty. The high computational complexity of finding exact solutions to POMDPs has spaw...
Depth-first branch-and-bound (DFBnB) is a complete algorithm that is typically used to find optimal solutions of difficult combinatorial optimization problems. It can also be adap...
Abstract. A Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) is a randomized heuristic that has produced high quality solutions for a wide range of combinatorial optimization pr...
