We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...
Clustering methods for data-mining problems must be extremely scalable. In addition, several data mining applications demand that the clusters obtained be balanced, i.e., be of ap...
In this paper a novel handoff decision algorithm for the mobile subsystem of tactical communications systems is introduced. In this algorithm, handoff decision metrics are: receiv...
