  Mathematical principles for scientific computing and visualization
Farin G., Hansford D., AK Peters Ltd, Wellesley, MA, 2008. 275 pp.  Type: Book (9781568813219)

Every so often, you find a book you are just itching to use to teach a course. This slim volume by Farin and Hansford is one of them. It presents just the right set of topics for students coming from the physical and natural sciences, ...

  Conjoinability in pregroups
Kiślak-Malinowska A. Fundamenta Informaticae 61(1): 29-36, 2004.  Type: Article

Pregroups are novel algebraic structures introduced by Lambek for the study of sentence structure. A pregroup is a partially ordered monoid together with unary right adjoint and left adjoint operators. This new algebra enables the soph...

  Root comparison techniques applied to computing the additively weighted Voronoi diagram
Karavelas M., Emiris I.  Discrete algorithms (Proceedings of the fourteenth annual ACM-SIAM symposium, Baltimore, Maryland, Jan 12-14, 2003) 320-329, 2003.  Type: Proceedings

Karavelas and Emiris consider additively weighted Voronoi diagrams (Voronoi diagrams in which the sites carry weights), and the distance of a point from a site is the Euclidean distance minus the weight of the site. Geometrically, this...

  On the subgroup generated by a small doubling binary set
Hennecart F., Plagne A. European Journal of Combinatorics 24(1): 5-14, 2003.  Type: Article

Let A be a subset of an n dimensional vector space over the field with two elements, and define A as the set of sums of two elements of A. Naively, the more in...

  Exponential bounds with applications to call admission
Liu Z., Nain P., Towsley D. Journal of the ACM 44(3): 366-394, 1997.  Type: Article

Motivated by the need to characterize response time or backlog distributions for the design and analysis of multimedia systems, the authors model one component of such systems as a single-server queue driven by a demand process whose a...

  Foundations of queueing theory
Prabhu N., Kluwer Academic Publishers, Norwell, MA, 1997.  Type: Book (9780792399629)

Prabhu is an eminent author and researcher, and founding editor of the influential journal Queueing Systems. The content, objectives, target audience, and prerequisites for this book are best described by quoting from the prefac...

  A comparative study of parallel and sequential priority queue algorithms
Rönngren R., Ayani R. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 7(2): 157-209, 1997.  Type: Article

The priority queue is an important data structure that is essential to the design of many system programs, such as operating systems, as well as to the design of many applications, such as simulations. In fact, priority queues must be ...

  On the convergence of traffic measurement and queueing analysis: a statistical-matching and queueing (SMAQ) tool
Li S., Hwang C. IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking 5(1): 95-110, 1997.  Type: Article

The authors observe that teletraffic analysis can be viewed as a two-step process: describe (measure) the input traffic, and construct a model that predicts the performance of the system when its input traffic has the characteristics o...

  Modeling of optimal load balancing strategy using queueing theory
Spies F. Microprocessing and Microprogramming 41(8-9): 555-570, 1996.  Type: Article

Though the writing in this paper is hard to understand--almost incomprehensible--my best guess is that the model the author uses to represent an “optimal load balancing strategy using queueing theoryR...

  Calculating normalization constants of closed queueing networks by numerically inverting their generating functions
Choudhury G., Leung K., Whitt W. Journal of the ACM 42(5): 935-970, 1995.  Type: Article

The authors provide an algorithm for calculating normalization constants and moments of product-form steady-state distributions of closed queueing networks. The main concept in this paper is the numerical inversion of the generating fu...
