We develop a method for predicting query performance by computing the relative entropy between a query language model and the corresponding collection language model. The resultin...
Abstract--Modeling environments and performance prediction boost application productivity, but often lack integration into an efficient and comprehensive approach to strategic desi...
We present a method for the prediction of the performance of a service-oriented architecture during its early stage of development. The system under scrutiny is modelled with the U...
Predicting grid performance is a complex task because heterogeneous resource nodes are involved in a distributed environment. Long execution workload on a grid is even harder to pr...
Query performance prediction is aimed at predicting the retrieval effectiveness that a query will achieve with respect to a particular ranking model. In this paper, we study quer...
