Abstract. In this paper we introduce a novel approach for query performance prediction based on ranking list scores dispersion. Starting from the hypothesis that different score d...
This paper extended a mathematical technique to model the behaviour of token-passing protocol in a star-coupled wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical network for traffic ...
Authenticating mobile computing users can require a significant amount of processing and communications resources— particularly when protocols based on public key encryption are...
The automatic allocation of enterprise workload to resources can be enhanced by being able to make `whatif' response time predictions, whilst different allocations are being c...
