In this paper we introduce a dynamical model for wireless sensor networks. We obtain a convergent martingale for the broadcast process in such networks. To our knowledge, such mart...
In this paper we present a quantitative study of data survival in peer to peer storage systems. We first recall two main redundancy mechanisms: replication and erasure codes, whic...
Developing scalable algorithms for solving partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) is an important challenge. One promising approach is based on representing POMDP...

Abstract. Training and evaluation of techniques for handwriting recognition and retrieval is a challenge given that it is difficult to create large ground-truthed datasets. This is...
Several formalisms exist to express and solve decision problems. Each is designed to capture different kinds of knowledge: utilities expressing preferences, uncertainties on the en...
