In this paper, a method is presented for the efficient estimation of rare-event (buffer overflow) probabilities in queueing networks using importance sampling. Unlike previously pr...
useful for optimizing compilers [15], partial evaluators [11], abstract debuggers [1], models-checkers [2], formal verifiers [13], etc. The difficulty of the task comes from the fa...
We consider the problem of multirate network design with point-to-multipoint communications. We give a mathematical formulation for this problem. Using approximations, we show that...
In this work we are interested in the problem of scheduling and redistributing data on master-slave platforms. We consider the case were the workers possess initial loads, some of...
— We propose two contrasting approaches to the scalable distributed control of a swarm of self-assembling miniaturized robots, specifically the formation of chains of a desired ...
