—Existing methods of measuring lifetimes in P2P systems usually rely on the so-called Create-Based Method (CBM) [16], which divides a given observation window into two halves and...
An operating system’s readahead and buffer-cache behaviors can significantly impact application performance; most often these better performance, but occasionally they worsen it...
Modeling the beyond-topical aspects of relevance are currently gaining popularity in IR evaluation. For example, the discounted cumulated gain (DCG) measure implicitly models some...
Stochastically searching the space of candidate clauses is an appealing way to scale up ILP to large datasets. We address an approach that uses a Bayesian network model to adaptive...
Higher layer protocols in wireless networks need to dynamically adapt to observed network response. The common approach is that each session employs end-to-end monitoring to estim...
