Motivated by issues of saving energy in data centers we define a collection of new problems referred to as "machine activation" problems. The central framework we introd...
In this paper we present a procedure to deal with a kind of single-stage decision problems with imprecise utilities. In this type of problems the product measurability of the utili...
In this paper we introduce the Partition Task problem class along with a complexity measure to evaluate its instances and a performance measure to quantify the ability of a system...
We describe an algebra for composing automata in which the actions have probabilities. We illustrate by showing how to calculate the probability of reaching deadlock in k steps in...

Pedestrian detection is an important application in computer vision. Currently, most pedestrian detection methods focus on learning one or multiple fixed models. These algorithms r...
