We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...
—Divisible load model allows scheduling algorithms that give nearly optimal makespan with practical computational complexity. Beaumont et al. have shown that their algorithm prod...
This paper describes a variant of the actor model suited to the development of multimedia systems. The actor model centers on non-overkilling concurrency and customizable constrai...
the level of abstraction in system design promises to enable faster exploration of the design space at early stages. While scheduling decision for embedded software has great impa...
Many useful applications of simulation in computational cell biology, e.g. kinetic parameter estimation, Metabolic Control Analysis (MCA), and bifurcation analysis, require a large...
