We address performance issues associated with simulationbased algorithms for optimizing Markov reward processes. Specifically, we are concerned with algorithms that exploit the re...
We assess the state of Internet congestion control and error recovery through a controlled study that considers the integration of standards-track TCP error recovery and both TCP ...

This paper presents a general model for estimating access times of serpentine tape drives. The model is used to schedule I/O requests in order to minimize the total access time. W...
Background: Supervised learning for classification of cancer employs a set of design examples to learn how to discriminate between tumors. In practice it is crucial to confirm tha...
— This paper examines the achievable performance gains when a particular class of cooperative relaying known as best-select is employed. In essence, best-select seeks to improve ...
