Affinity functions are the core components in negative selection to discriminate self from non-self. It has been shown that affinity functions such as the r-contiguous distance an...
In this paper, minimum jerk movement on the constrained sphere was studied by using both theoretical analysis and experimental investigation. Based on the constraint optimal princ...

This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern Search for constrained n...
We consider single-server and multi-server queues with deterministic reneging times motivated by the timeout mechanisms used in application servers.. A Volterra integral equation ...
—It is well known that max-weight policies based on a queue backlog index can be used to stabilize stochastic networks, and that similar stability results hold if a delay index i...
