Beamforming and relaying are two methods of improving wireless system performance. Until now, these techniques have been considered separately. In this paper, a single source (base...
Dining philosophers is a classic scheduling problem for local mutual exclusion on arbitrary conflict graphs. We establish necessary conditions to solve wait-free dining under even...
Aiming at improving file download speed, existing large-scale P2P content distribution systems substantially employ a multi-source parallel downloading scheme to allow peers servi...
We consider the classical finite-state discounted Markovian decision problem, and we introduce a new policy iteration-like algorithm for finding the optimal state costs or Q-facto...
A distributed problem solving approach to job shop scheduling is described in this paper. The approach views the system as an Organisation. Agents are assigned di erent roles and ...
