Abstract. Ordinal Optimization has emerged as an efficient technique for simulation and optimization. Exponential convergence rates can be achieved in many cases. In this paper, we...
The current standard in governing distributed transaction termination is the so-called Two-Phase Commit protocol (2PC). The first phase of 2PC is a voting phase, where the partici...

Abstract. Efficient query processing is one of the basic needs for data mining algorithms. Clustering algorithms, association rule mining algorithms and OLAP tools all rely on effi...
Abstract. Autonomous learning systems of significant complexity often consist of several interacting modules or agents. These modules collaborate to produce a system which, when vi...
Abstract. Two explicit error representation formulas are derived for degenerate parabolic PDEs, which are based on evaluating a parabolic residual in negative norms. The resulting ...
