In nanometer regime, the effects of variations are having an increasing impact on the delay and power characteristics of devices as well as the yield of the circuit. Statistical t...
We consider sensor scheduling as the optimal observability problem for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP). This model fits to the cases where a Markov process ...
Distributed applications are based on algorithms which should be able to deal with time constraints. It is mandatory to express time constraints in (mathematical) models and the cu...
Input/output subsystem performance is currently receiving considerable research attention. Signi cant e ort has been focused on reducing average I/O response times and increasing ...
Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...
