It is necessary to have the precise definition of available performance of high availability systems that can represent the availability and performability of the systems altogethe...
In this paper, we introduce a simple analytical modeling approach for computing service unavailability due to long response time, for infinite and finite single-server systems a...
Stochastic orders can be applied to Markov reward models and used to aggregate models, while introducing a bounded error. Aggregation reduces the number of states in a model, miti...
Pyramid annotation makes it possible to evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively the content of machine-generated (or human) summaries. Evaluation methods must prove themselves a...
We propose a new approach for automatic melody extraction from polyphonic audio, based on Probabilistic Latent Component Analysis (PLCA). An audio signal is first divided into vo...
