Grid users may experience inconsistent performance due to specific characteristics of grids, such as fluctuating workloads, high failure rates, and high resource heterogeneity. Alt...
We present methods to answer two basic questions that arise when benchmarking optimization algorithms. The first one is: which algorithm is the `best' one? and the second one:...
We present a new evaluation criterion for the induction of decision trees. We exploit a parameter-free Bayesian approach and propose an analytic formula for the evaluation of the p...
In sporting event transmissions of international significance, broadcasting in each country is carried out by the owner of the rights for that particular country. The output signa...
Networks of timed automata (NTA) are widely used to model distributed real-time systems. Quite often in the literature, the automata are allowed to share clocks. This is a problem ...
