—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
This paper focuses on online gift exchange in a setting where online and offline interactions are tightly intertwined and most of the exchanges require face-to-face interaction to...
Predictive state representations (PSRs) are a recently proposed way of modeling controlled dynamical systems. PSR-based models use predictions of observable outcomes of tests that...
The paper proposes two automatic voltage controllers for the South Korean power system. Simulation results from detailed Korean power-flow models show that the controllers can pro...
Battery Exhaustion Attack is a “denial of service” attack on mobile devices, causing more battery discharge than normally necessary. The excessive discharge arises out of the ...
