Flash memories are considered a competitive alternative to rotating disks as non-volatile data storage for database management systems. However, even if the Flash Translation Layer...
In sequential decision making under uncertainty, as in many other modeling endeavors, researchers observe a dynamical system and collect data measuring its behavior over time. The...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are an established framework for solving sequential decision-making problems under uncertainty. In this work, we propose a new method for batchmod...
In automated negotiation systems consisting of self-interested agents, contracts have traditionally been binding. Leveled commitment contracts--i.e., contracts where each party ca...
In this paper, we propose a systematic solution to the problem of scheduling delay-sensitive media data for transmission over time-varying wireless channels. We first formulate th...
