This paper investigates the problem of estimating the value of probabilistic parameters needed for decision making in environments in which an agent, operating within a multi-agen...
Abstract. The convergence of Monte Carlo method for numerical integration can often be improved by replacing pseudorandom numbers (PRNs) with more uniformly distributed numbers kno...
Passive monitoring or testing of complex systems and networks running in the field can provide valuable insights into their behavior in actual environments of use. In certain con...
In practice, understanding the spatial relationships between the surfaces of an object, can significantly improve the performance of object recognition systems. In this paper we p...
Fault-tolerant (FT) distributed protocols (such as group membership, consensus, etc.) represent fundamental building blocks for many practical systems, e.g., the Google File System...
