: This paper discusses the issues and promising approaches in (1) obtaining rigorous specifications of the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements associated with application functio...
Skyline queries have gained much attention as alternative query semantics with pros (e.g.low query formulation overhead) and cons (e.g.large control over result size). To overcome ...
This paper presents a precise market model for a well-defined class of distributed configuration design problems. Given a design problem, the model defines a computational economy...
Abstract. We present a novel algorithm for approximating the parameters of a multivariate t-distribution. At the expense of a slightly decreased accuracy in the estimates, the prop...
— The Parallel Resource-Optimal (PRO) computation model was introduced by Gebremedhin et al. [2002] as a framework for the design and analysis of efficient parallel algorithms. ...
