We consider the problem of estimating the covariance matrix of an observation vector, using heterogeneous training samples, i.e., samples whose covariance matrices are not exactly ...
The emergence of computational grids has lead to an increased reliance on task schedulers that can guarantee the completion of tasks that are executed on unreliable systems. There...

Enabled by the continuous advancement in fabrication technology, present day synchronous microprocessors include more than 100 million transistors and have clock speeds well in ex...
Social insect societies and more specifically ant colonies, are distributed systems that, in spite of the simplicity of their individuals, present a highly structured social organi...
