In this paper, we examine a supply chain in which a single supplier sells to a downstream retailer. We consider a multi-period model, with the following sequence of events. In per...
We propose a trace fitting algorithm for Markovian Arrival Processes (MAPs) that can capture statistics of any order of interarrival times between measured events. By studying re...
Ecologists instrument ecosystems to collect time series representing the evolution in time and space of relevant abiotic and biotic factors. Sensor networks promise to improve on ...
The problem of computing periods in words, or finite sequences of symbols from a finite alphabet, has important applications in several areas including data compression, string se...
The blogosphere has unique structural and temporal properties since blogs are typically used as communication media among human individuals. In this paper, we propose a novel tech...
