In this paper we study monotonicity results for optimal policies of various queueing and resource sharing models. The standard approach is to propagate, for each specific model, ...
Learning robot-environment interaction with echo state networks (ESNs) is presented in this paper. ESNs are asked to bootstrap a robot’s control policy from human teacher’s dem...
As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance and signal integrity. Buffer insertion is one...
—Storage Area Networks (SANs) connect storage devices to servers over fast network interconnects. We consider the problem of optimal SAN configuration with the goal of meeting s...
— For most of wireless services with variable rate transmission, both average rate and rate oscillation are important performance metrics. One often needs to decide how much rate...
