In this paper, we give a summary of recent development of simulation-based algorithmsfor average cost MDP problems, which are different from those for discounted cost problems or shortest pathproblems. We introduce both ...

A Protocol mismatch occurs when heterogeneous networks try to communicate with each other. Such mismatches are inevitable due to the proliferation of a multitude of networking architectures, hardware, and software on one ...

In this paper we investigate the problem of efficient representations of large databases of pulsed radar returns in order to economize memory requirements and minimize search time. We use synthetic radar returns from ships ...

This paper examines a network design problem that arises in the telecommunications industry. In this problem, communication between a gateway vertex and a number of demand vertices is achieved through a network of fiber ...

A hybrid network consisting of a satellite network and a terrestrial network will increase the overall network efficiency considerably by using all available resources and media. This dissertation considers dynamic routing ...

Tool vibration is a well-known fact in causing poor surface finish, accelerated tool wear, and unstable machining operations. Due to the availability of active or "smart" materials, researchers in the machine tool industry ...

The deluge of web pages has generated dystopian commentaries on the tragedy of the flood as well as utopian visions of harnessing the same flood for constructive purposes. Within this ocean of information there are also ...

Association Rule Mining algorithms operate on a data matrix (e.g., customers x products) to derive rules [2,23]. We propose a single-pass algorithm for mining linear rules in such a matrix based on Principal Component ...
