Abstract— This paper investigates the near-memoryless behavior of the service time for IEEE 802.11 saturated single-hop ad hoc networks. We show that the number of packets succes...
We compare the number of cache misses M1 for running a computation on a single processor with cache size C1 to the total number of misses Mp for the same computation when using p ...
In this paper we propose a distributed meta-index using a peer-to-peer protocol to allow spatio-temporal queries of moving objects on a large set of distributed database servers. W...
We present a mathematical model of word sense frequency distributions, and use word distributions to set parameters. The model implies that the expected dominance of the commonest ...
We discuss tournaments in terms of their efficiency as probabilistic mechanisms that select high-quality alternatives ("players") in a noisy environment. We use two crit...
