Abstract. This work compares different metaheuristics techniques applied to an important problem in natural language: tagging. Tagging amounts to assigning to each word in a text ...
Current software development techniques and tools lack the capability to characterize function call chains in multithreaded and distributed applications built upon component techn...
This paper is on the Consensus problem, in the context of asynchronous distributed systems made of n processes, at most f of them may crash. A family of failure detector classes s...
Google's MapReduce programming model serves for processing large data sets in a massively parallel manner. We deliver the first rigorous description of the model including it...
Through the use of a new disk-based method for enumerating very large orbits, condensation for orbits with tens of billions of elements can be performed. The algorithm is novel in...
