We introduce a class of learning problems where the agent is presented with a series of tasks. Intuitively, if there is relation among those tasks, then the information gained duri...
Current technological developments and application-driven demands are bringing us closer to the realization of autonomous multirobot systems performing increasingly complex missio...
In a public cloud, bandwidth is traditionally priced in a pay-asyou-go model. Reflecting the recent trend of augmenting cloud computing with bandwidth guarantees, we consider a n...
We define a match join of R and S with predicate to be a subset of the -join of R and S such that each tuple of R and S contributes to at most one result tuple. Match joins and t...
