- The objective of this paper is to provide lower and upper bounds for the switching activity on the state lines in Finite State Machines (FSMs). Using a Markov chain model for the...
We construct, analyze and solve models of systems where a number of servers offer services to an incoming stream of demands. Each server goes through alternating periods of being ...
We investigate the conception that the sample variance of the control variate (CV) should be used for estimating the optimal linear CV weight, even when the CV variance is known. ...
In an assembly line with high labor proportion, the workforce planning and scheduling is a very complex problem. At the background of increasing labor costs, it is very important ...
In this paper, we propose a model for exploiting community based usage information for video retrieval. Implicit usage information from a pool of past users could be a valuable sou...
