Scheduling query execution plans is an important component of query optimization in parallel database systems. The problem is particularly complex in a shared-nothing execution en...
Background: Gene expression is governed by complex networks, and differences in expression patterns between distinct biological conditions may therefore be complex and multivariat...
We present exact algorithms for identifying deterministic-actions' effects and preconditions in dynamic partially observable domains. They apply when one does not know the ac...
: We generalize the notion of pattern avoidance to arbitrary functions on ordered sets, and consider specifically three scenarios for permutations: linear, cyclic and hybrid, the f...
We formulate and study a decentralized multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem. There are distributed players competing for independent arms. Each arm, when played, offers i.i.d. reward a...
