We study contention-resolution protocols for multiple-access channels. We show that every backoff protocol is transient if the arrival rate, , is at least 0.42 and that the capaci...

Many garbage-collected systems use a single garbage collection algorithm across all applications. It has long been known that this can produce poor performance on applications for...
The objective of data reduction is to obtain a compact representation of a large data set to facilitate repeated use of non-redundant information with complex and slow learning alg...
Abstract. Reduction of chip packaging and cooling costs for deep sub-micron SystemOn-Chip (SOC) designs is an emerging issue. We present a simulation-based methodology able to real...
A recent trend in motion-based segmentation has been to rely on statistical procedures derived from ExpectationMaximization (EM) principles. EM-based approaches have various attra...
