We propose a design optimization framework for adaptive real-time streaming applications. The main contribution is a hybrid approach for performance analysis combining formal anal...
We develop a hierarchical approach to planning for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) in which a policy is represented as a hierarchical finite-state control...
In this paper, we introduce the model REMES for formal modeling and analysis of embedded resources such as storage, energy, communication, and computation. The model is a state-ma...
The Nelder-Mead Algorithm (NMA) is an almost half-century old method for numerical optimization, and it is a close relative of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Ev...
