In this paper, we study the problem of on demand minimum length packet scheduling in single-hop multichannel systems. Examples of these systems are those centered around switching...
All-optical packet switching is a promising candidate for future high-speed switching. However, due to the absence of optical Random Access Memory, the traditional Virtual Output ...
Gossiping is a communication primitive where each node of a network possesses a unique message that is to be communicated to all other nodes in the network. We study the gossiping ...
A Bayesian belief network is a model of a joint distribution over a finite set of variables, with a DAG structure representing immediate dependencies among the variables. For each...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
