We consider the problem of scheduling unit-length jobs on identical parallel machines such that the makespan of the resulting schedule is minimized. Precedence constraints impose ...

The design of sensor networks capable of reaching a consensus on a globally optimal decision test, without the need for a fusion center, is a problem that has received considerable...
Abstract--In the design of distributed quantization systems one inevitably confronts two types of constraints--those imposed by a distributed system's structure and those impo...
This paper presents Process Algebra for Predictible Control Systems (PAPCS) as a model for specifying and analysis of concurrent, time and resource dependent, distributed control s...
Many mathematical models exist for describing the behavior of TCP/IP (TCP: transmission control protocol) under an exogenous loss process that does not depend on the window size. ...
