User Cooperation Diversity -- Part I: System Description

by Andrew Sendonaris, Elza Erkip, Behnaam Aazhang - IEEE TRANS. COMMUN , 1998
"... Mobile users' data rate and quality of service are limited by the fact that, within the duration of any given call, they experience severe variations in signal attenuation, thereby necessitating the use of some type of diversity. In this two-part paper, we propose a new form of spatial diver ..."

Analysis of TCP Performance over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Part I: Problem Discussion and Analysis of Results

by Gavin Holland, Nitin Vaidya , 1999
"... Mobile ad hoc networks have gained a lot of attention lately as a means of providing continuous network connectivity to mobile computing devices regardless of physical location. Recently, a large amount of research has focused on the routing protocols needed in such an environment. In this two-part ..."

Algebraic laws for nondeterminism and concurrency

by Matthew Hennessy, Robin Milner - Journal of the ACM , 1985
"... Abstract. Since a nondeterministic and concurrent program may, in general, communicate repeatedly with its environment, its meaning cannot be presented naturally as an input/output function (as is often done in the denotational approach to semantics). In this paper, an alternative is put forth. Firs ..."

. First, a definition is given of what it is for two programs or program parts to be equivalent for all observers; then two program parts are said to be observation congruent iff they are, in all program contexts, equivalent. The behavior of a program part, that is, its meaning, is defined to be its

Markov games as a framework for multi-agent reinforcement learning

by Michael L. Littman - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MACHINE LEARNING , 1994
"... In the Markov decision process (MDP) formalization of reinforcement learning, a single adaptive agent interacts with an environment defined by a probabilistic transition function. In this solipsistic view, secondary agents can only be part of the environment and are therefore fixed in their behavior ..."

in their behavior. The framework of Markov games allows us to widen this view to include multiple adaptive agents with interacting or competing goals. This paper considers a step in this direction in which exactly two agents with diametrically opposed goals share an environment. It describes a Q

A discriminatively trained, multiscale, deformable part model

by Pedro Felzenszwalb, David Mcallester, Deva Ramanan - In IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR-2008 , 2008
"... This paper describes a discriminatively trained, multiscale, deformable part model for object detection. Our system achieves a two-fold improvement in average precision over the best performance in the 2006 PASCAL person detection challenge. It also outperforms the best results in the 2007 challenge ..."

Stacked generalization

by David H. Wolpert - NEURAL NETWORKS , 1992
"... This paper introduces stacked generalization, a scheme for minimizing the generalization error rate of one or more generalizers. Stacked generalization works by deducing the biases of the generalizer(s) with respect to a provided learning set. This deduction proceeds by generalizing in a second sp ..."

generalizer which has been trained on a particular learning set and then asked a particular question. After introducing stacked generalization and justifying its use, this paper presents two numerical experiments. The first demonstrates how stacked generalization improves upon a set of sepa-rate generalizers

Efficient Software-Based Fault Isolation

by Robert Wahbe, Steven Lucco, Thomas E. Anderson, Susan L. Graham , 1993
"... One way to provide fault isolation among cooperating software modules is to place each in its own address space. However, for tightly-coupled modules, this solution incurs prohibitive context switch overhead, In this paper, we present a software approach to implementing fault isolation within a sing ..."

single address space. Our approach has two parts. First, we load the code and data for a distrusted module into its own fault do-main, a logically separate portion of the application’s address space. Second, we modify the object code of a distrusted module to prevent it from writing or jumping

A comparison of mechanisms for improving TCP performance over wireless links

by Hari Balakrishnan, Venkata N. Padmanabhan, Srinivasan Seshan, Randy H. Katz - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1997
"... Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless and other lossy links also suffer from significant losses due to bit errors and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by i ..."

-to-end protocols, where loss recovery is performed by the sender; link-layer protocols, that provide local reliability; and split-connection protocols, that break the end-to-end connection into two parts at the base station. We present the results of several experiments performed in both LAN and WAN environments

Systems Competition and Network Effects

by Michael L. Katz, Carl Shapiro - JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES—VOLUME 8, NUMBER 2—SPRING 1994—PAGES 93–115 , 1994
"... Many products have little or no value in isolation, but generate value when combined with others. Examples include: nuts and bolts, which together provide fastening services; home audio or video components and programming, which together provide entertainment services; automobiles, repair parts and ..."
