The theory of distributed detection is receiving a lot of attention. A common assumption used in previous studies is the conditional independence of the observations. In this paper, the optimization of local decision rules for distributed detection networks with correlated observations is considered. We focus on presenting the detection theory for parallel distributed detection networks with fi...

Optimization-simulation technology is developed simultaneously with progress in numeric methods, computer science and different fields of modern mathematics. This paper gives the list of problems, which are formulated and successfully solved, and two primers of numeric procedures for decision of multiparameter multicriteria optimization problem. Iterative procedure for structural grows of large...

Many extensions to existing qualitative simulation packages allow combined use of available numeric and qualitative information . Some provide numeric integration across two qualitative states but none of them highlights numerically or semi-quantitatively the qualitatively predicted time points . Moreover, high accuracy at time points is only achieved by a fine level of granularity across the e...

This paper discusses the design and implementation of Simmcast , an object-oriented framework for network simulation with specific support for group communication. The design of the framework is focused towards simplicity and extensibility. The aim is to allow a spectrum of experiments ranging from evaluation of abstract group communication models to simulation of more detailed multicast protoc...
