Abstract. We describe a way to improve the performance of MDP planners by modifying them to use lower and upper bounds to eliminate non-optimal actions during their search. First, ...
We consider a class of Markov chains known for its closed form transient and steady-state distributions. We show that some absorbing chains can be also seen as members of this clas...
Continuously shrinking feature sizes result in an increasing susceptibility of circuits to transient faults, e.g. due to environmental radiation. Approaches to implement fault tol...
Visual recognition and detection are computationally intensive tasks and current research efforts primarily focus on solving them without considering the computational capability ...
We consider multiprocessor distributed real-time systems where concurrency control is managed using software transactional memory (or STM). For such a system, we propose an algori...
