— We address the problem of connection preemption in a multi-class network environment. Our objective is: i) to minimize the number of preempted connections, and ii) to minimize ...
In the emerging area of sensor-based systems, a significant challenge is to develop scalable, fault-tolerant methods to extract useful information from the data the sensors collec...

This paper presents an approximation method for numerically solving general Markov modulated fluid models which are widely used in modelling communications and computer systems. ...
Approximations based on dyadic centred intervals are investigated as a means for implementing exact real arithmetic. It is shown that the field operations can be implemented on th...
We propose an algorithm for computing an exact absolute factorization of a bivariate polynomial from an approximate one. This algorithm is based on some properties of the algebrai...
