Continual Computation Policies for Utility-Directed Prefetching
People accessing documents via the Internet typically experience latencies in retrieving content. We discuss continual-computation policies that dictate strategies for prefetching...

Sketching with Conceptual Metaphors to Explain Computational Processes
To explore how people conceptualize a complex system, 232 university students were asked to sketch how a search engine works. While the sketches reveal a diverse range of visual a...

From Computing Sets of Optima, Pareto Sets, and Sets of Nash Equilibria to General Decision-Related Set Computations
: Several algorithms have been proposed to compute sets of optima, Pareto sets, and sets of Nash equilibria. In this paper, we present a general algorithm for decision-related set ...
