Replication is a widely used technique in unstructured overlays to improve content availability or system performance. A fundamental question often addressed by previous work focused on: how many replicas ought to be allocated for each data item given the fixed query rates and limited storage capability? In this paper, we have put forth two optimal replica distributions to achieve the highest success rate and the lowest message consumption. Especially, we have investigated the influence of item size on replica distribution. Our results show that Square-Root Replication, which is traditionally considered to be optimal, is not always the best choice. Our study offers a new deep understanding of resource managment in self-organized unstructured overlays.

In this paper, we address the problem of multitarget tracking with unknown measurement noise variance parameters by the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter. Based on the concept of conjugate prior distributions for noise statistics, the inverse-Gamma distributions are employed to describe the dynamics of the noise variance parameters and a novel implementation to the PHD recursion is developed by representing the predicted and the posterior intensities as mixtures of Gaussian-inverse-Gamma terms. As the target state and the noise variance parameters are coupled in the likelihood functions, the variational Bayesian approximation approach is applied so that the posterior is derived in the same form as the prior and the resulting algorithm is recursive. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed filter.

This paper studies the problem of state estimation for jump Markov linear systems with uncompensated biases. By describing the state and the measurement biases as additive random variables, a suboptimal filter has been developed by applying the basic interacting multiple model (IMM) approach. To derive a precise representation of the biases contributions to the state estimation, three auxiliary matrices are introduced with respect to the correlation between the state estimation errors and the biases, which helps to derive mode-conditioned estimates in the framework of the IMM. A numerical example involving tracking a maneuvering target is provided to compare the performance of the proposed filter with that of the augmented state filter.

This paper is devoted to the finite-time control problem for multiple manipulators, where unmodeled dynamics is taken into consideration. An effective coordinated control strategy is introduced, under which distributed protocols with continuous feedbacks are proposed. By applying the homogeneous theory for stability analysis, it is proven that the multi-robot system can be globally finite-time stabilized through our protocols. Numerical simulations on four manipulators with two degrees of freedom are presented to validate the effectiveness of the control strategy.

Many researchers have worked on the ex- planation of AdaBoost's good experimental results in theory. Some work give an upper bound of generaliza- tion error in terms of the margin distribution function, while Breiman gave a sharper generalization error bound based on minimum margin. He also developed the arc- gv algorithm to maximize the minimum margin, then made the minimum margin larger than AdaBoost. How- ever, its empirical results are even worse than AdaBoost. Therefore, is the minimum margin bound not practi- cal? This paper gives a new concept called Equilibrium margin (Emargin) and proves a new generalization er- ror bound using Emargin, which is always better than minimum margin bound. In addition, we show Emargin is a good indicator of generalization. Then, we conduct experiments showing that the Emargin of AdaBoost is larger than arc-gv, but the generalization error of Ada- Boost is usually better.
