Abstract. A resource selection probability function is a function that gives the probability that a resource unit (e.g., a plot of land) that is described by a set of habitat varia...
Service-oriented architectures enable services to be dynamically selected and integrated at runtime, thus enabling system flexibility and adaptiveness—autonomic attributes that...
Recent work has shown that intelligent neighbor selection during construction can significantly enhance the performance of peer-to-peer overlay networks. While its impact on perf...
Previous approaches to service selection are mainly based on capturing and exchanging the ratings of consumers to providers. However, ratings reflect tastes of the raters. Theref...
We discuss tournaments in terms of their efficiency as probabilistic mechanisms that select high-quality alternatives ("players") in a noisy environment. We use two crit...
