Materialized views offer opportunities for significant performance gain in query evaluation by providing fast access to pre-computed data. The question of when and how to use a ma...
Abstract--Manufacturing scheduling is an important but difficult task. In order to effectively solve such combinatorial optimization problems, this paper presents a novel Lagrangia...
This paper explores unexpected results that lie at the intersection of two common themes in the KDD community: large datasets and the goal of building compact models. Experiments ...
In noncooperative networks, resources are shared among selfish users, which optimize their individual performance measure. We consider the generic and practically important case o...
Abstract. In this paper a rigorous mathematical framework of deterministic annealing and mean-field approximation is presented for a general class of partitioning, clustering and ...
