Extensive measurement studies have shown that end-to-end Internet path performance degradation is correlated with routing dynamics. However, the root cause of the correlation betw...
Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...
The expanding and dynamic nature of the Web poses enormous challenges to most data mining techniques that try to extract patterns from Web data, such as Web usage and Web content....
This paper considers importance sampling as a tool for rare-event simulation. The focus is on estimating the probability of overflow in the downstream queue of a Jacksonian two-n...
