In this paper we present a new approach to derive heavy-traffic asymptotics for polling models. We consider the classical cyclic polling model with exhaustive or gated service at ...
Lyapunov design methods are used widely in control engineering to design controllers that achieve qualitative objectives, such as stabilizing a system or maintaining a system'...
— We introduce a novel strategy for data processing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in the case of emergency fire evacuation with stringent delay constraints. Such networks sh...
We introduce a new plan repair method for problems cast as Mixed Integer Programs. In order to tackle the inherent complexity of these NP-hard problems, our approach relies on the ...

An important and well-studied problem is the production of semantic lexicons from a large corpus. In this paper, we present a system named ASIA (Automatic Set Instance Acquirer), ...
