In this paper, variable bit rate (VBR) H.261 encoded video traffic is modeled by a nonlinear time series process. A threshold autoregressive (TAR) process is of particular interes...

The advent of affordable, shared-nothing computing systems portends a new class of parallel database management systems (DBMS) for on-line transaction processing (OLTP) applicatio...
We propose a shape population metric that reflects the interdependencies between points observed in a set of examples. It provides a notion of topology for shape and appearance m...
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is ...
In this paper we present an analytical model for estimating architecture-based software reliability, according to the reliability of each component, the operational profile, and t...
