A widely used computational model for constructing fault-tolerant distributed applications employs atomic transactions for controlling operations on persistent objects. There has ...
We present a communication and component model for push systems. Surprisingly, despite the widespread use of many push services on the Internet, no such models exist. Our communica...
We investigate an inherent limitation of top-down decision tree induction in which the continuous partitioning of the instance space progressively lessens the statistical support o...
Abstract. In this paper a rigorous mathematical framework of deterministic annealing and mean-field approximation is presented for a general class of partitioning, clustering and ...
Global clustering has rarely been investigated in the area of spatial database systems although dramatic performance improvements can be achieved by using suitable techniques. In ...
