— We consider decision-making problems in Markov decision processes where both the rewards and the transition probabilities vary in an arbitrary (e.g., nonstationary) fashion. We...
VRML 2.0 allows a content creator to dynamically control state changes in a virtual reality world by defining routes of events over VRML 2.0 nodes. In the conceptual execution mod...
The current main memory (DRAM) access speeds lag far behind CPU speeds. Cache memory, made of static RAM, is being used in today's architectures to bridge this gap. It provid...
Compounding processes, also known as perpetuities, play an important role in many applications; in particular, in time series analysis and mathematical finance. Apart from some s...
Large-scale scientific and business applications require data processing of ever-increasing amounts of data, fueling a demand for scalable parallel file systems comprising hundred...
