Heartbeat protocols are used by distributed programs to ensure that if a process in a program terminates or fails, then the remaining processes in the program terminate. We presen...
The choice of the selection method used in an evolutionary algorithm may have considerable impacts on the behavior of the entire algorithm. Therefore, earlier work was devoted to t...
In PRAM emulations, universal hashing is a well-known method for distributing the address space among memory modules. However, if the memory access patterns of an application ofte...
Abstract—This paper presents a new upper bound on the endto-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of channel-assisted amplifyand-forward (AF) multi-hop relay networks. The harmonic mea...
This paper presents a semi-supervised training method for linear-chain conditional random fields that makes use of labeled features rather than labeled instances. This is accompli...
