Cluster-based multi-tier systems provide a means for building scalable Internet services. Building adaptive Internet services that are able to apply appropriate system sizing and ...
The WALK mode is one of the most common navigation interfaces for 3D virtual environments. However, due to the limited view angle and low frame rate, users are often blocked by ob...
In the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem there are k distributions associated with the rewards of playing each of k strategies (slot machine arms). The reward distributions are ini...
Given a wireless network where each link undergoes small-scale (Rayleigh) fading, we consider the problem of routing a message from a source node to a target node while minimizing...
