We apply Monte Carlo simulation and alpha-beta search to the card game of Skat, which is similar to Bridge, but different enough to require some new algorithmic ideas besides the t...
Today, a number of algorithms exist for constructing tag hierarchies from social tagging data. While these algorithms were designed with ontological goals in mind, we know very li...
Hosting a collection of millions of videos, YouTube offers several features to help users discover the videos of their interest. For example, YouTube provides video search, relate...
To overcome the rising complexity of computing systems, the paradigms of Autonomic Computing and Organic Computing have been introduced. By using an observer/controller architectur...
As the complexity of computing systems steadily increases, self-managing systems – as Autonomic Computing Systems (ACS) proposed by IBM – are an adequate approach to minimize ...
