The purpose of this note is to describe the underlying insights and results obtained by the authors, and others, in a series of papers aimed at modelling the distribution of `natu...
Networked embedded systems are expected to support adaptive streaming audio/video applications with soft real-time constraints. These systems can be designed in a cost efficient ...
We investigate the following question. Do populations of evolving agents adapt only to their recent environment or do general adaptive features appear over time? We find statistica...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
A common statistical problem is that of nding the median element in a set of data. This paper presents a fastand portable parallel algorithm for nding the median given a set of el...
