Numerous optimizations exist for improving the performance of nondeferred reference-counting (RC) garbage collection. Their designs are ad hoc, intended to exploit different count...
Current evidence indicates that poor data quality is pervasive and has a significant negative impact on business success. Information-system (IS) professionals are typically charg...
We show that, given data from a mixture of k well-separated spherical Gaussians in Rd, a simple two-round variant of EM will, with high probability, learn the parameters of the Ga...
A wide range of niching techniques have been investigated in evolutionary and genetic algorithms. In this article, we focus on niching using crowding techniques in the context of ...
A software system interacts with its environment through system interfaces. Robustness of software systems are governed by various temporal properties related to these interfaces,...
