A new conceptual architecture for low-level neural pattern recognition is presented. The key ideas are that the brain implements support vector machines and that support vectors are represented as memory patterns in competitive queuing memories. A binary classifier is built from two competitive queuing memories holding positive and negative valence training examples respectively. The support ve...

The purpose of this article is to analyze the effects of changes in the system parameters on an M/M/c queuing system in which dynamic pricing is employed as the control policy. In order to obtain the desired results, we first describe the whole system as a combination of distinct operators. Then, we show the effects of changes in the system parameters on these operators. By using our findings o...
