Markov decision processes (MDPs) are controllable discrete event systems with stochastic transitions. The payoff received by the controller can be evaluated in different ways, dep...
—WPAN technologies such as IEEE 802.15.4 have been introduced to allow for energy-efficient communication of control and sensor data. In certain application areas, it is benefici...
A new approach to the recognition of temporal behaviors and activities is presented. The fundamental idea, inspired by work in speech recognition, is to divide the inference probl...
Several optimizations to the Time Warp synchronization protocol for parallel discrete event simulation have been proposed and studied. Many of these optimizations have included so...
