Automata models of learning systems introduced in the 1960s were popularized as learning
automata (LA) in a survey paper by Narendra and Thathachar (1974). Since then, there …

The switching speeds of electronics cannot keep up with the transmission capacity offered
by optics. All-optical switch fabrics play a central role in the effort to migrate the switching …

One of the major challenges in wireless sensor network (WSN) research is to curb down
congestion in the network's traffic, without compromising with the energy of the sensor …

The fastest learning automata (LA) algorithms currently available fall in the family of
estimator algorithms introduced by Thathachar and Sastry (1986). The pioneering work of …

LEARNING automata [1] have attracted a considerable in-terest in the last three decades.
They are adaptive decision making devices that operate in unknown stochastic …

This paper presents a new philosophy to model the behavior of a student in a tutorial-like
system using learning automata (LAs). The model of the student in our system is inferred …

Reliable routing of packets in a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) has always been a major
concern. The open medium and the susceptibility of the nodes of being fault-prone make the …

A learning automata-based time-division multiple-access protocol for broadcast networks,
which is capable of operating efficiently under bursty traffic conditions, is introduced …

A learning automata-based polling (LEAP) protocol for wireless LANs, capable of operating
efficiently under bursty traffic conditions, is introduced. We consider an infrastructure …

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have potentially unlimited applications in the future.
Therefore, establishing a viable and secure wireless network routing protocol for these …
