Abstract. Current point-based planning algorithms for solving partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) have demonstrated that a good approximation of the value funct...
—Although policy compliance testing is generally treated as a binary decision problem, the evidence gathered during the trust management process can actually be used to examine t...
We discuss how phase-transitions may be detected in computationally hard problems in the context of anytime algorithms. Treating the computational time, value and utility functions...
Leasing computational resources for on-demand computing is now a viable option for providers of network services. Temporary spikes or lulls in demand for a service can be accommod...
In this paper, we present the system MULINEX, a fully implemented system which supports cross-lingual search of the WWW. Users can formulate, expand and disambiguate queries, filt...
