To improve data availability and resilience MapReduce frameworks use file systems that replicate data uniformly. However, analysis of job logs from a large production cluster show...
Previous studies have shown that array regrouping and structure splitting significantly improve data locality. The most effective technique relies on profiling every access to eve...
Often remote investigations use autonomous agents to observe an environment on behalf of absent scientists. Predictive exploration improves these systems’ efficiency with onboa...
We explore the use of clock skew of a wireless local area network access point (AP) as its fingerprint to detect unauthorized APs quickly and accurately. The main goal behind usi...
Recent research in object recognition has demonstrated the advantages of representing objects and scenes through localized patterns such as small image templates. In this paper we...
