In this paper the judgement consisting in choosing a function that is believed to dominate the true probability distribution of a continuous random variable is explored. This kind...
For many probability distributions of interest, it is quite difficult to obtain samples efficiently. Often, Markov chains are employed to obtain approximately random samples fro...
We study the round complexity of two-party protocols for generating a random nbit string such that the output is guaranteed to have bounded bias (according to some measure) even i...
A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
Abstract—Subscription covering detection is useful to improving the performance of any publish/subscribe system. However, an exact solution to querying coverings among a large se...
