We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...
The problem of dividing a sequence of values into segments occurs in database systems, information retrieval, and knowledge management. The challenge is to select a finite number ...
A flexible model for estimating reliability of RAID storage systems is presented. This model corrects errors associated with the common assumption that system times to failure fol...
Many time series exhibit dynamics over vastly different time scales. The standard way to capture this behavior is to assume that the slow dynamics are a “trend”, to de-trend t...
—As Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and embedded software functions within an automobile keep increasing in number, the scale and complexity of automotive embedded systems is gro...
