How to reuse or adapt past solutions to new problems is one of the least understood problems in case-based reasoning. In this paper we will focus on the problem of how to combine s...
Abstract--In this paper we study a broad class of semiMarkovian queues introduced by Sengupta. This class contains many classical queues such as the GI/M/1 queue, SM/MAP/1 queue an...
A set A of vertices of a graph G is called d-scattered in G if no two d-neighborhoods of (distinct) vertices of A intersect. In other words, A is d-scattered if no two distinct ver...
We study the contention/interaction among wireless nodes and med -ium access control design in game theory framework. We define a general class of games, called random access game...
In this paper we consider general path constraints for semistructured databases. Our general constraints do not suffer from the limitations of the path constraints previously stud...
