We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
A collision resolution scheme is essential to the performance of a random-access wireless network. Most schemes employ exponential backoff (EB) to adjust the transmission attempt ...
: The k nearest neighbor classification (k-NN) is a very simple and popular method for classification. However, it suffers from a major drawback, it assumes constant local class po...
Background: Two central problems in computational biology are the determination of the alignment and phylogeny of a set of biological sequences. The traditional approach to this p...
In this paper, we present a system capable of improving the I/O performance in an automatic way. This system is able to learn the behavior of the applications running on top and ï¬...
