The liveness characteristics of a system are intimately related to the notion of fairness. However, the task of explicitly modelling fairness constraints is complicated in practice...
Abstract. Spoken audio is an important source of information available to knowledge extraction and management systems. Organization of spoken messages by priority and content can f...
This paper describes simulations designed to test the relative efficiency of two different sequential auction mechanisms for allocating compute resources between users in a shared...
Abstract. Software engineering describes a system at different levels of abstraction. Agent-oriented software engineering introduces a new level, called the agent level, to allow t...
We consider the problem of efficient estimation of first passage time probabilities for a multidimensional random walk with t distributed increments, via simulation. In addition...
