Since the advent of electronic computing, the processors’ clock speed has risen tremendously. Now that energy efficiency requirements have stopped that trend, the number of proc...
Given the scale of massively parallel systems, occurrence of faults is no longer an exception but a regular event. Periodic checkpointing is becoming increasingly important in the...
A pervasive requirement of distributed systems is to deal with churn — change in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A high churn rate ca...
We propose a mathematical framework for query selection as a mechanism for reducing the cost of constructing information retrieval test collections. In particular, our mathematica...
