Most scientific models are not physical objects, and this raises important questions. What sort of entity are models, what is truth in a model, and how do we learn about models? In...
—We consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiple access channel (MAC), where the channel between each transmitter and the receiver is modeled by the doubly-scatterin...
After the emergence of numerous Internet streaming applications, rate-distortion (R-D) modeling of scalable video encoders has become an important issue. In this paper, we examine...
One of the major concerns in the processes which involve human analysts is the existence of uncertainty/inconsistency. In this paper, we propose a model based on belief theory tha...
The development of autonomous multi-agent systems acting upon the interests of one or more users involves the elicitation of preferences of these users. In decision theory, models...
