A hierarchical modeling framework for the dependability evaluation of Internet-based applications is presented and illustrated on a travel agency example. Modeling is carried out ...
Existing data cleaning methods work on the basis of computing the degree of similarity between nearby records in a sorted database. High recall is achieved by accepting records wi...
Abstract. In this paper we show how Metropolis Light Transport can be extended both in the underlying theoretical framework and the algorithmic implementation to incorporate volume...
We present a probabilistic model extension to the Tesni`ere Dependency Structure (TDS) framework formulated in (Sangati and Mazza, 2009). This representation incorporates aspects ...
This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
