Wireless channels usually face bursty errors, i.e., errors are prone to occur in clusters. These bit errors can be modeled using the Gilbert-Elliott model. When data packets are t...
We study the mixing time of some Markov Chains converging to critical physical models. These models are indexed by a parameter β and there exists some critical value βc where th...
In parallel systems, similar jobs tend to arrive within bursty periods. This fact leads to the existence of the locality phenomenon, a persistent similarity between nearby jobs, in...
A new publish/subscribe capability is presented: the ability to predict the likelihood that a subscription will be matched at some point in the future. Composite subscriptions con...
In this paper, the Quantum-inspired Genetic Algorithms with the population of a single individual are formalized by a Markov chain model using a single and the stored best individ...
