The criterion of total weighted completion time occurs as a sub-problem of combinatorial optimization problems in such diverse areas as scheduling, container loading and storage a...
Recent software systems usually feature an automated failure reporting component, with which a huge number of failures are collected from software end-users. With a proper support...
Clustering performance can often be greatly improved by
leveraging side information. In this paper, we consider constrained
clustering with pairwise constraints, which specify
s...
Transactional memory promises to make parallel programming easier than with fine-grained locking, while performing just as well. This performance claim is not always borne out bec...
What methods can we use to help understand why users adopt certain use strategies, and how can we evaluate designs to anticipate and perhaps positively modify how users are likely...
