It has been observed that when people make crude estimates, they feel comfortable choosing between alternatives which differ by a half-order of magnitude (e.g., were there 100, 30...
straction of the following scenarios: choosing from among a set of alternative treatments after a fixed number of clinical trials, determining the best parameter settings for a pro...
The open-source software RRDtool and Cricket provide a solution to the problem of collecting, storing, and visualizing service network time series data for the real-time monitorin...
We describe a polynomial-time algorithm for global value numbering, which is the problem of discovering equivalences among program sub-expressions. We treat all conditionals as non...
An approximation algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is said to be nontrivial if its performance ratio is strictly superior to the expected performance of the algorith...
