We describe an automata-theoretic approach for the competitive analysis of online algorithms. Our approach is based on weighted automata, which assign to each input word a cost in...
We introduce a novel cut-based debugging paradigm. It coordinates design emulation and simulation and enables fast transition from one to another. Emulation or functional implemen...
Geo-replicated services need an effective way to direct client requests to a particular location, based on performance, load, and cost. This paper presents DONAR, a distributed sy...

Hybrid metaheuristics have received considerable interest these recent years in the field of combinatorial optimization. A wide variety of hybrid approaches have been proposed in ...
This paper presents an approach for classifying students in order to predict their final grade based on features extracted from logged data in an education web-based system. A comb...
