Abstract: The so-called “Win-Continue, Lose-Reverse” (WCLR) rule is a simple iterative procedure that can be used to choose a value for any numeric variable (e.g. setting a pri...
This paper is concerned with long-term (20+years) forecasting of broadband traffic in next-generation networks. Such long-term approach requires going beyond extrapolations of past...

Abstract Cloud computing is a paradigm that provides access to a flexible, elastic and on-demand computing infrastructure, allowing users to dynamically request virtual resources....
Nowadays, smartphones are used to download files such as movies, music, etc. These files present some flexibility in delivery time; we exploit this feature to reduce network ov...
Shortest-path trees play an important role in the field of optimising fixed-access telecommunication networks with respect to costs and capacities. Distributional properties of t...
Modeling and simulation can help to validate and evaluate the performance of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) within specific applications. In order to resolve the issue of the re...

We show the diagonal problem for higher-order pushdown automata (HOPDA), and hence the simultaneous unboundedness problem, is decidable. From recent work by Zetzsche this means th...
Cleaning spreadsheet data types is a common problem faced by millions of spreadsheet users. Data types such as date, time, name, and units are ubiquitous in spreadsheets, and clea...
We present Prophet, a novel patch generation system that works with a set of successful human patches obtained from opensource software repositories to learn a probabilistic, appl...
Syntactic language extensions can introduce new facilities into a programming language while requiring little implementation effort and modest changes to the compiler. It is typi...
