The perceived latency for a user surfing the Internet is the target of a transparent and speculative algorithm that relies on a user behavior model. The model is based on past use...
Derived horizontal fragmentation is one of the main database distribution design techniques. Unlike primary horizontal fragmentation, the decision of derived horizontal fragmentat...
In sequential decision making under uncertainty, as in many other modeling endeavors, researchers observe a dynamical system and collect data measuring its behavior over time. The...
The quality of database distribution design, which involves fragmentation and allocation, should be assessed by the performance of a system. In particular, this applies to non-rel...
We investigate the value of pooling capacity in supply chains that serve product demands of different variabilities. We build and analyze models that integrate production queuing...
