Diversity with AntiVirus products: Additional empirical studies

In this paper we describe the design of a new set of empirical studies we will run to test the gains in detection capabilities from using diverse AntiVirus products. This new work builds on previous work on this topic reported in [1, 2, 3]. We describe the motivation for this work, how it extends the previous work and what studies we will conduct

The Distribution of Minimum of Ratios of Two Random Variables and Its Application in Analysis of Multi-hop Systems

The distributions of random variables are of interest in many areas of science. In this paper, ascertaining on the importance of multi-hop transmission in contemporary wireless communications systems operating over fading channels in the presence of cochannel interference, the probability density functions (PDFs) of minimum of arbitrary number of ratios of Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami-m, Weibull and α-µ random variables are derived. These expressions can be used to study the outage probability as an important multi-hop system performance measure. Various numerical results complement the proposed mathematical analysis
