Data sparsity, scalability and prediction quality have been recognized as the three most crucial challenges that every collaborative filtering algorithm or recommender system conf...
In a recent work, we have shown that it is not possible to dependably build any type of distributed f fault or intrusiontolerant system under the asynchronous model. This result f...

This paper investigates what it entails to provide I/O service differentiation and performance isolation for virtual machines on individual multicore nodes in cloud platforms. Sh...
We study the problem of generating e cient, equivalent rewritings using views to compute the answer to a query. We take the closed-world assumption, in which views are materialize...
The notion of certain answers arises when one queries incompletely specified databases, e.g., in data integration and exchange scenarios, or databases with missing information. W...
