In heterogeneous networks (HetNets), load balancing among different tiers can be effectively achieved by a biased user association scheme with which each user chooses to associate with one base station (BS) based on the biased received…
Communication delays and multiplexing are ubiquitous features of real-world networked systems. We here introduce a simple model where these two features are simultaneously present, and report the rich phe- nomenology which is actually due…
Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) systems must balance translation quality with response time, making latency measurement crucial for evaluating their real-world performance. However, there has been a longstanding belief that…
Delayed interactions are a common property of coupled natural systems and therefore arise in a variety of different applications. For instance, signals in neural or laser networks propagate at finite speed giving rise to delayed…

Communication has been widely employed to enhance multi-agent collaboration. Previous research has typically assumed delay-free communication, a strong assumption that is challenging to meet in practice. However, real-world agents suffer…
Many systems and services rely on timing assumptions for performance and availability to perform critical aspects of their operation, such as various timeouts for failure detectors or optimizations to concurrency control mechanisms. Many…
Simultaneous machine translation has recently gained traction thanks to significant quality improvements and the advent of streaming applications. Simultaneous translation systems need to find a trade-off between translation quality and…
Recent years have seen an increasing number of studies around the design of computer-assisted interpreting tools with integrated automatic speech processing and their use by trainees and professional interpreters. This paper discusses the…
Simultaneous machine translation attempts to translate a source sentence before it is finished being spoken, with applications to translation of spoken language for live streaming and conversation. Since simultaneous systems trade quality…
Simultaneous translation is a task in which translation begins before the speaker has finished speaking. In its evaluation, we have to consider the latency of the translation in addition to the quality. The latency is preferably as small as…
We consider a request processing system composed of organizations and their servers connected by the Internet. The latency a user observes is a sum of communication delays and the time needed to handle the request on a server. The handling…
Low-latency communication is currently attracting significant attention due to the emergence of mission-critical Internet of Things (IoT) applications and content-centric services. A deep understanding of the delay performance is essential…
We investigated the challenges of mitigating response delays in free-form conversations with virtual agents powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) within Virtual Reality (VR). For this, we used conversational fillers, such as gestures and…
