— We consider a ring topology with limited or full switching capability as deployed in high bandwidth metro optical networks and develop a model to estimate the probability of bl...
Abstract—The following network computing problem is considered. Source nodes in a directed acyclic network generate independent messages and a single receiver node computes a tar...
Abstract. This paper extends previously proposed bound propagation algorithm [11] for computing lower and upper bounds on posterior marginals in Bayesian networks. We improve the b...
Given a set of rating data for a set of items, determining the values of items is a matter of importance and various probability models have been proposed. The Plackett-Luce model ...
We study the complexity of the inclusion, equivalence, and intersection problem for simple regular expressions arising in practical XML schemas. These basically consist of the conc...
