Abstract. To support large-scale live Internet broadcasting services efficiently in content delivery networks (CDNs), it is essential to exploit peer-to-peer capabilities among end...
We revisit the peer selection problem of finding the most nearby peer from an initiating node. The metrics to assess the closeness between peers are hopcount and delay, respectivel...
Many algorithms and applications involve repeatedly solving variations of the same inference problem; for example we may want to introduce new evidence to the model or perform upd...

Assume that cause-effect relationships between variables can be described as a directed acyclic graph and the corresponding linear structural equation model We consider the identi...
Real-time dynamic programming (RTDP) is a heuristic search algorithm for solving MDPs. We present a modified algorithm called Focused RTDP with several improvements. While RTDP ma...
