In recent years, the proliferation of the world wide web has lead toan increase in the number of public auctions on the internet. One ofthe characteristics of online auctions is that a successfulimplementation requires a high volume of buyers and sellers at itswebsite. Consequently, auction sites which have a high volume oftraffic have an advantage over those in which the volume is limited.This results...
This paper applies the theory of stochastic processes to quantitatively study the dynamical behavior of mass mind under the influence of "group pressure" quantified by a submissive parameter. A finite state irreducible Markov chain whose transition probability matrix depends on the submissive parameter is introduced to describe the composition and evolution of mass attitudes. The microstructure...
We investigate the problem of minimizing the overall transmission delay of packets in a multi-access wireless communication system, where the transmitters have average power constraints. We use a multi-dimensional Markov chain to model the medium access control (MAC) layer behavior. The state of the Markov chain represents current queue lengths. Our goal is to minimize the average packet delay through...
In this paper, we propose a novel duty cycling algorithm for a large-scale dense wireless sensor networks. The proposed algorithm is based on a social behavior of nodes in the sense that individual node's sleep/wakeup decision is influenced by the state of its neighbors. We analyze the behavior of the proposed duty cycling algorithm using a stochastic spatial process. In particular, we consider a...
