We investigate the conception that the sample variance of the control variate (CV) should be used for estimating the optimal linear CV weight, even when the CV variance is known. ...
This paper suggests an evolutionary approach to design coordination strategies, a key issue in distributed intelligent systems. We focus on competitive strategies in the form of f...
We argue that some of the computational complexity associated with estimation of stochastic attributevalue grammars can be reduced by training upon an informative subset of the fu...
One use of simulation is to inform decision makers that seek to select the best of several alternative systems. The system with the highest (or lowest) mean value for simulation o...
As passive optical networks (PON) are increasingly deployed to provide high speed Internet access, it is important to understand their fundamental traffic capacity limits. The pape...
