Most parallel machines, such as clusters, are spaceshared in order to isolate batch parallel applications from each other and optimize their performance. However, this leads to lo...
Constructing the controller of a mobile robot has several issues to be addressed: how to automate behavior generation procedure, how to insert available domain knowledge effective...
We develop a data integration approach for the efficient evaluation of queries over autonomous source databases. The approach is based on some novel applications and extensions of...
SQL extensions that allow queries to explicitly specify data quality requirements in terms of currency and consistency were proposed in an earlier paper. This paper develops a dat...
This paper presents an approach to automatically optimizing the retrieval quality of search engines using clickthrough data. Intuitively, a good information retrieval system shoul...
