We introduce and study Recursive Markov Chains (RMCs), which extend ordinary finite state Markov chains with the ability to invoke other Markov chains in a potentially recursive m...
Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...
A Virtual Machine (VM) is a program running on a conventional microprocessor that emulates the binary instruction set, registers, and memory space of an idealized computing machine...
