We present a large-scale analysis of the content of weblogs dating back to the release of the Blogger program in 1999. Over one million blogs were analyzed from their conception t...
Task scheduling is an integrated component of computing. With the emergence of grid and ubiquitous computing, newer challenges have arisen in task scheduling. Unlike traditional p...
We study the online version of the classical parallel machine scheduling problem to minimize the total weighted completion time from a new perspective: We assume that the data of ...
A weakness of classical Markov decision processes (MDPs) is that they scale very poorly due to the flat state-space representation. Factored MDPs address this representational pro...
