Midwest Numerical Analysis Day

Multi-level Monte Carlo is a relatively new method that computes expectations of stochastic processes to a desired tolerance significantly faster than previous methods. I will detail the basic idea of multi-level Monte Carlo and show how to implement it in the continuous time Markov chain setting, which is a modeling choice commonly used in the biosciences. Departments of Computer Science, Math...

A Symposium on Religion : Religion and Society

theoretical expectations. The assumption is that along with modernization and economic development, adherence to religious world views (seen to be a relic of the past) gradually dissipate, as they have in other advanced societies. But they haven’t in the United States. In fact, the importance of religious commitments and religious organizations to American society increased over the last severa...

Religion: Ally, Threat, or Just Religion?

Proceedings of the Fifteenth Midwest

In this work we examine mobile autonomous agent technology and its ability to effectively fight a computer virus attack on a network. A mobile agent is an autonomous agent that has the ability to transfer and reproduce itself on other computers within a network [Kotz, 99]. A computer virus is a malicious computer program that infects host systems and replicates itself to other host systems [Hof...
