The distributed nature of the grid results in the problem of scheduling parallel jobs produced by several independent organizations that have partial control over the system. We co...
This research is motivated by the needs of robust streaming of vector graphics contents over the Internet, wireless and other lossy networks. We present a multiple description cod...
We consider discrete infinite-state Markov chains which contain an eager finite attractor. A finite attractor is a finite subset of states that is eventually reached with prob...

This paper extends basic software-testing theory to software components and adds explicit state to the theory. The resulting theory e enough to abstractly model the construction o...
We describe an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm, ANT-MPE, for the most probable explanation problem in Bayesian network inference. After tuning its parameters settings, we c...
