Recent evidence suggests that some characteristics of computer and telecommunications systems may be well described using heavy tailed distributions — distributions whose tail d...
A framework to design simulation models is described in order to perform activity-based costing for flexible manufacturing systems before actual manufacturing activities. For illu...
This paper presents parallel algorithms for MPEG video compression by using the PVM library. Because of the huge amount of computation, a sequential software encoder is slow at th...
Over the last few years, object-oriented techniques have gained an increasing recognition both in software engineering and in AI. Object-oriented systems present undisputable adva...
In real-world domains a concept to be learned may be unwieldy and the environment may be less than ideal. One combination of difficulties occurs if the concept is probabilistic an...
