QBDs with Marked Time Epochs: a Framework for Transient Performance Measures
A framework to assess transient performance measures is introduced by generalizing the theory of the quasi Birthand-Death (QBD) paradigm to QBDs with marked time epochs (QBDm ). T...

Generalization Error Bounds Using Unlabeled Data
We present two new methods for obtaining generalization error bounds in a semi-supervised setting. Both methods are based on approximating the disagreement probability of pairs of ...

A Physics-Style Approach to Scalability of Distributed systems
Abstract. Is it possible to treat large scale distributed systems as physical systems? The importance of that question stems from the fact that the behavior of many P2P systems is ...
