In this paper we present a Lagrange-multiplier formulation of discrete constrained optimization problems, the associated discrete-space first-order necessary and sufficient condit...
In this work, we develop a novel mathematical model to analyze di erent location update protocols for mobile cellular network. Our model can capture many important features of use...
Abstract. An abstract framework is developed to describe program transformation by specializing a given program to a restricted set of inputs. Particular cases include partial eval...
The e ective design of composite dependable and real-time protocols entails demonstrating their proof of correctness and, in practice, the e cient delivery of services. We focus o...
Numerous mathematical approaches have been proposed to determine the optimal checkpoint interval for minimizing total execution time of an application in the presence of failures....
