Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...
Software process and workflow languages are increasingly used to define loosely-coupled systems of systems. These languages focus on coordination issues such as data flow and c...
This paper introduces a framework for modeling and specifying the global behavior of e-service compositions. Under this framework, peers (individual e-services) communicate throug...
