We describe the distributed object-oriented threads system (DOTS), a programming environment designed to support object-oriented fork/join parallel programming in a heterogeneous distributed environment. A mixed network of Windows NT PCs and UNIX workstations is transformed by DOTS into a...

This work examines how the option and stock markets are related when using the threshold vector error correction model (hereinafter referred to as threshold VECM). Moreover, compared to previous studies in the literature of application of threshold models, this study not only investigates the...

We show how appropriate rewiring with the aid of Metropolis Monte Carlo computational experiments can be exploited to create network topologies possessing prescribed values of the average path length (APL) while keeping the same connectivity degree and clustering coefficient distributions. Using...
