Modeling and analysis of program behavior are at the foundation of computer system design and optimization. As computer systems become more adaptive, their efficiency increasingly...
We propose a face difference model that decomposes face difference into three components, intrinsic difference, transformation difference, and noise. Using the face difference mod...
While “displays” have the connotation of affording visual output, “surfaces” invite the users to interact. What happens then when the surfaces are also displays, when a di...
We propose a novel approach to optimize Partially Observable Markov Decisions Processes (POMDPs) defined on continuous spaces. To date, most algorithms for model-based POMDPs are ...

A new modeling framework is introduced for the analytical study of medium access control (MAC) protocols operating in multihop ad hoc networks. The model takes into account the e...
