We design a variation of skip lists that performs well for generally biased access sequences. Given n items, each with a positive weight wi, 1 i n, the time to access item i is O...

We consider the problem of maximizing capacity in a queueing network with flexible servers, where the classes and servers are subject to failure. We assume that the interarrival ...
In this paper we propose an approach to variable selection that uses a neural-network model as the tool to determine which variables are to be discarded. The method performs a bac...
We consider the estimation of arrival and service rates for queues based on queue length data collected at successive, not necessarily equally spaced, time points. In particular, ...
