High utility sequential pattern (HUSP) mining (HUSM) is an emerging task in data mining. The goal is to identify sequential patterns in a quantitative sequence database that have high importance, as measured by a utility function. Nevertheless, a ...

This paper explores the conditions which make a regular balanced random (k,2s)-CNF formula (1,0)-unsatisfiable with high probability. The conditions also make a random instance of the regular balanced (k − 1,2(k − 1)s)-SAT problem unsatisfiable ...

Given a hypergraph H(V, E), a set of vertices $S\subseteq V$ is a dominating set if every vertex $v\in V\backslash S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The dominating number $\gamma (H)$ is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in H. H is anti-rank k if each edge ...$\frac{}{\mathrm{}}$$\frac{}{\mathrm{}}$$\frac{}{}$$\mathcal{}$$\mathcal{}$$\mathrm{}$$\mathrm{}\frac{}{}$$\frac{}{\mathrm{}}$

Increasing demand for computationally intensive jobs on mobile devices is driving interest in computation offloading to the edge/cloud servers. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for managing offloading of stochastic and heterogeneous user(s)-...

High-utility sequential pattern mining (HUSPM) has emerged as an important topic due to its wide application and considerable popularity. However, due to the combinatorial explosion of the search space when the HUSPM problem encounters a low-utility ...

Caching systems have long been crucial for improving the performance of a wide variety of network and web-based online applications. In such systems, end-to-end application performance heavily depends on the fraction of objects transferred from the cache, ...

An identifying code $C$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ such that any two distinct vertices of $G$ have distinct closed neighborhoods within $C$. These codes have been widely studied for over two decades. We give an improvement over all the best ...

The uncapacitated transportation problem (UTP) deals with minimizing the transportation costs related to the delivery of a homogeneous product from multi-suppliers to multi-consumers. The application of the UTP can be extended to other areas of ...

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is used in various fields of human activity in order to implement faster and more secure processes through a reduction in the risks or errors but also an increase in the productivity rates. The increase of its use ...

The large amount of devices deployed for the Internet of Things (IoT) cause a tremendous traffic burden on the cloud server. Caching content at the edge of IoT networks is a promising technology to alleviate the traffic load. However, how to further ...

The model of a channel that describes the transmission of information in communication systems with a single-user receiver based on order statistics is considered. The transmission of information through such a channel using a linear block code is ...

We study a monitoring problem on the surface of the earth for significant environmental, social/political and extreme events using satellites as sensors. We assume that the surface of the earth is divided into a set of regions, where a region may be a ...

A typical automotive integrated architecture is a controller area network (CAN) cluster integrated by a central gateway. This study proposes a novel and exact worst-case response time (WCRT) analysis method for message-processing tasks in the gateway. ...

In this study, the authors consider a two‐way amplify‐and‐forward communication system over Nakagami‐m fading environments, where an intermediate relay node harvests energy from its surrounding radio frequency environment using an energy harvesting ...

The question of the minimum menu-size for approximate (i.e., up-to-ε) Bayesian revenue maximization when selling two goods to an additive risk-neutral quasilinear buyer was introduced by Hart and Nisan [2013], who give an upper bound of O(1/ε⁴) for this ...

Detecting eye tracking events such as fixations and saccades is one of the first important steps in eye tracking research. The adaptive algorithm by Nyström and Holmqvist [2010] estimates thresholds by computing a "peak velocity detection threshold" (PT)...

The joint multicast beamforming and user scheduling problem is studied, with the objective of minimising total transmitting power across multiple channels by jointly assigning each user to appropriate channel and designing multicast beamformer for each ...

Graphs have been widely used to model complex data in many real-world applications. Answering vertex join queries over large graphs is meaningful and interesting, which can benefit friend recommendation in social networks and link prediction, and so on. ...

In this study, the capacity problem in a two‐way fading channel is considered. The authors propose amplify‐and‐forward with lattice codes (AF&LC), exploiting a modulo operation at the relay. Without destroying the construct of codebook, the modulo ...

In recent avionics systems, AFDX (Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet) is the network used to replace the previously deployed point-to-point networks. In AFDX networks, nodes are not synchronized and therefore data contention repeatedly occurs at the ...
