Distributed real-time embedded systems have stringent requirements for key performance properties, such as endto-end timeliness and reliability, in order to operate properly. In r...
We review the history of modeling score distributions, focusing on the mixture of normal-exponential by investigating the theoretical as well as the empirical evidence supporting i...
Feedback control techniques have recently been applied to a variety of real-time systems. However, a fundamental issue that was left out is guaranteeing system controllability and...
Modern distributed information retrieval techniques require accurate knowledge of collection size. In non-cooperative environments, where detailed collection statistics are not av...
The link structure of the Web graph is used in algorithms such as Kleinberg’s HITS and Google’s PageRank to assign authoritative weights to Web pages and thus rank them. Both ...
