Abstract: Intra-operator(or partitioned) parallelism is a well-established mechanism for achieving high performance in parallel database systems. However, the problem of how to exp...
Abstract. We are interested in the problem of computing the average consensus in a distributed fashion on random geometric graphs. We describe a new algorithm called Multi-scale Go...
We introduce Bayesian Coalitional Games1 (BCGs), a generalization of classical coalitional games to settings with uncertainties. We define the semantics of BCG using the partition...
A new approach for overcoming broken ergodicity in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations of complex systems is described. The problem of broken ergodicity is often present i...
Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
