Abstract. We propose a hybrid approach for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem which is an extremely hard to solve combinatorial optimization problem of pra...
Abstract— A distributed online learning framework for support vector machines (SVMs) is presented and analyzed. First, the generic binary classification problem is decomposed in...
Abstract. A global Data warehouse (DW) integrates data from multiple distributed heterogeneous databases and other information sources. DW can be abstractly seen as a set of materi...
We present protocols that allow a user Alice, knowing only her name and password, and not carrying a smart card, to "log in to the network" from a "generic" wo...
We consider the problem of estimating CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for processing range and k-nearest neighbors queries over metric spaces. Unlike the specific case ...
