Nowadays, key characteristics of a processor's instruction set are only exploited in high-level languages by using inline assembly or compiler intrinsics. Inserting intrinsic...
Many compute-intensive applications generate single result values by accessing clusters of nearby points in grids of one, two, or more dimensions. Often, the performance of FGPA i...
We address the issue of incorporating domain-specific preferences in planning systems, where a preference may be seen as a "soft" constraint that it is desirable, but no...
BPEL is emerging as an open-standards language for Web service composition. However, its procedural style can lead to inflexible and tangled code for managing a crosscutting aspec...
This paper introduces a Bayesian algorithm for constructing predictive models from data that are optimized to predict a target variable well for a particular instance. This algori...
