Abstract— Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems provide decentralization, self-organization, scalability and failure-resilience, but suffer from high worst-case latencies. Researchers have ...
The so-called noise-component has been introduced by Banfield and Raftery (1993) to improve the robustness of cluster analysis based on the normal mixture model. The idea is to ad...
In this paper we formulate the problem of grouping the states of a discrete Markov chain of arbitrary order simultaneously with deconvolving its transition probabilities. As the na...
We consider the concepts of a t-total vertex cover and a t-total edge cover (t 1), which generalize the notions of a vertex cover and an edge cover, respectively. A t-total verte...
FG is a programming environment for asynchronous programs that run on clusters and fit into a pipeline framework. It enables the programmer to write a series of synchronous functi...
