Abstract--This letter considers the average complexity of maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding of convolutional codes. ML decoding can be modeled as finding the most probable path take...
The Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) is a scalable hierarchical protocol that allows ATM switches to be aggregated into clusters called peer groups. To provide good acc...
This paper considers the theory of database queries on the complex value data model with external functions. Motivated by concerns regarding query evaluation, we first identify re...
The fundamental relations that underlie cognitive comparisons--"same" and "different"--can be demultiple levels of abstraction, which vary in relational comple...
Using biological examples and theoretical arguments, the case is presented for extending the notion of natural selection to include internal selection in order to account for the e...
