We present a deadlock avoidance algorithm for distributed systems that guarantees liveness. Deadlock avoidance in distributed systems is a hard problem and general solutions are c...
A central problem in information retrieval is the automated classification of text documents. While many existing methods achieve good levels of performance, they generally require...
Abstract--Fault localization in enterprise networks is extremely challenging. A recent approach called Sherlock makes some headway into this problem by using an inference algorithm...
Given an algorithm A for solving some mathematical problem based on the iterative solution of simpler subproblems, an Outer Trust-Region (OTR) modification of A is the result of ...
