Abstract. Many tasks (e.g., search and summarization) result in an ordered list of items. In order to evaluate such an ordered list of items, we need to compare it with an ideal or...
In the age of Grid, Cloud, volunteer computing, massively parallel applications are deployed over tens or hundreds of thousands of resources over short periods of times to complete...
The problem of identifying deviating patterns in XML repositories has important applications in data cleaning, fraud detection, and stock market analysis. Current methods determine...
In evolutionary algorithms, the typical post-processing phase involves selection of the best-of-run individual, which becomes the final outcome of the evolutionary run. Trivial f...
To make the most effective application placement decisions on volatile large-scale heterogeneous Grids, schedulers must consider factors such as resource speed, load, and reliabil...
