We consider the problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs have stochastic processing times and may arrive over time. We give...
Tensegrity structures are lightweight structures composed of cables in tension and struts in compression. Since tensegrity systems exhibit geometrically nonlinear behavior, findin...
We cast model-free reinforcement learning as the problem of maximizing the likelihood of a probabilistic mixture model via sampling, addressing both the infinite and finite horizo...
This paper addresses the problem of extending the lifetime of a batterypowered mobile host in a client-server wireless network by using task migration and remote processing. This ...
—We consider peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, where multiple peers are interested in sharing content. While sharing resources, autonomous and self-interested peers need to make decis...
