Abstract-- Input-queued cell switches employing the oldestcell-first (OCF) policy have been shown to yield low mean delay characteristics. Moreover, it has been proven that OCF is ...
Merging states in finite automata is a main method of reducing the size of the representation of regular languages. The process has been extensively studied for deterministic fi...
This paper proposes a real options framework for evaluating architectural choices and the economic value of these alternative choices of networks, protocols, and services. Using p...
The virtual synchrony model for group communication has proven to be a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. Implementations of virtual synchrony usually requir...
The generation of better label placement configurations in maps is a problem that comes up in automated cartographic production. The objective of a good label placement is to displ...
