In a distributed computing system (DCS), we need to allocate a number of modules to different processors for execution. It is desired to maximize the processor synergism in order...
—Multicast is an important communication paradigm, also a problem well known for its difficulty (NP-completeness) to achieve certain optimization goals, such as minimum network ...
Water systems often allow efficient water uses via water reuse and/or recirculation. Defining the network layout connecting water-using processes is a complex problem which involv...
—This paper presents a method for learning decision theoretic models of human behaviors from video data. Our system learns relationships between the movements of a person, the co...
In this paper, we consider the tree task graphs which arise from many important programming paradigms such as divide and conquer, branch and bound etc., and the linear task-graphs...
