This self-contained introduction shows how stochastic geometry techniques can be used for studying the behavior of heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs). The unified treatment of analytic results and approaches, collected for the first time in a single volume, includes the mathematical tools and techniques used to derive them. A single canonical problem formulation encompassing the analytic de...

Abstract – This paper introduces a mathematical model for the analysis of media access protocols for star-coupled wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) photonic networks. The proposed technique provides accurate performance prediction while also preserving model flexibility. General traffic generation and resource holding time distributions are supported with this semi-markov based approach. Th...

Today's database management systerns (DBMSs) require careful database configuration to achieve optimal performance, while manually tuning the database becomes more and more impractical. The facility of "no knobs operation" enables the DBMS ta autornatically reallocate its resources to maintain acceptable performance in the face of changing conditions. The performance of a DBMS is greatly influe...

Will reading habit influence your life? Many say yes. Reading analytical methods in fuzzy modeling and control is a good habit; you can develop this habit to be such interesting way. Yeah, reading habit will not only make you have any favourite activity. It will be one of guidance of your life. When reading has become a habit, you will not make it as disturbing activities or as boring activity....

This report presents a literature review on the modeling of dielectric polymer actuators (DPA). The principle of actuation of these actuators and the underlying physics of dielectrics is exposed in order to introduce all the sources of difficulty responsible for the complex behaviour of DPAs. A variational formulation is proposed to model the behaviour of DPA, based on the variation of the diel...

Contemporary companies try to build customer relationship management systems based on the customer social relations and behavioral patterns. This is in correspondence with the current trend in marketing that is to move from broadcast marketing operation to a one-to-one marketing. The key issue in this activity is predicting to which products or services a particular customer was likely to respo...

Non-planar structures have been identified as promising structure for next device generation in the nanoelectronic era. However, the continuous device dimension scaling into nano regime eventually requires more sophisticated model due to the limitation of the existing models. A model for non-planar MOSFET structure was elaborated in this paper, especially for device with pillar structure, using...

Analytical modeling is a capacity planning function often used to accurately project future computing resource requirements. However, many capacity planners ignore activity "outside of the box" network changes, human behavior, and changing requirements which can introduce latent demand to an upgraded system and adversely affect the results of their best planning efforts. What is latent demand? ...
