Incompleteness due to missing attribute values (aka "null values") is very common in autonomous web databases, on which user accesses are usually supported through media...
Providing good quality of service (e.g., low response times) in distributed computer systems requires measuring enduser perceptions of performance. Unfortunately, such measures ar...
BACKGROUND: Defect predictors learned from static code measures can isolate code modules with a higher than usual probability of defects. AIMS: To improve those learners by focusi...
Profiling can accurately analyze program behavior for select data inputs. We show that profiling can also predict program locality for inputs other than profiled ones. Here loc...
Background: This paper introduces the notion of optimizing different norms in the dual problem of support vector machines with multiple kernels. The selection of norms yields diff...
