Large-scale and dynamically changing distributed systems such as the Grid, peer-to-peer overlays, etc., need to collect several kinds of global statistics in a decentralized manne...
Abstract -- In this paper, we study the provision of perclass QoS for IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) WLANs. We propose two mechanisms, called BIWF-SP and I...
We exploit the fact that qualitative Interval Algebra (IA) network problems are finite domain CSPs. In the first part of the paper, we show how to convert a qualitative IA network ...
As opposed to finite domain CSPs, arc consistency cannot be enforced, in general, on CSPs over the reals, including very simple instances. In contrast, a stronger property, the s...
This paper proposes a new clustering algorithm in the fuzzy-c-means family, which is designed to cluster time series and is particularly suited for short time series and those wit...
