Abstract. Three theoretical perspectives upon conservation of performance in function optimization are outlined. In terms of statistical information, performance is conserved when ...
Conservation of information (COI) popularized by the no free lunch theorem is a great leveler of search algorithms, showing that on average no search outperforms any other. Yet in ...
This paper provides means for performance evaluation of a queue with Poisson Pareto Burst Process (PPBP) input. Because of the long range dependent nature of the PPBP, straightfor...
We develop a new algorithm for clustering search results. Differently from many other clustering systems that have been recently proposed as a post-processing step for Web search ...
We develop a game-theoretical framework to investigate the competitive implications of Consumer-to-Consumer electronic marketplaces, which promote concurrent selling of new and us...
