— This paper presents a new end-to-end available bandwidth measurement tool called IGMPS (Improved Gap Model using Packet Size parameter). IGMPS is a lightweight tool based on a ...
First, this paper introduces a new family of k-in-a-row games, Connect(m, n, k, p, q). In Connect(m, n, k, p, q), two players alternately place p stones on an m × n board in each ...
We introduce Multi-Trials, a new technique for symmetry breaking for distributed algorithms and apply it to various problems in general graphs. For instance, we present three rand...
Background: Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) provide an excellent means for structure identification and feature extraction on stochastic sequential data. An HMM-with-Duration (HMMwD) ...
Background: The PD-(D/E)XK nuclease superfamily, initially identified in type II restriction endonucleases and later in many enzymes involved in DNA recombination and repair, is o...
