An efficient “Simulation Optimization” technique is developed to solve system design problems which can not be expressed in explicit analytical or mathematical models. In part...
The relationship between constraint-based mining and constraint programming is explored by showing how the typical constraints used in pattern mining can be formulated for use in ...
Abstract— Realistic mobility models are important to understand the performance of routing protocols in wireless ad hoc networks, especially when mobility-assisted routing scheme...
We study the problem of generating synthetic databases having declaratively specified characteristics. This problem is motivated by database system and application testing, data ...
We consider the problem of data durability in lowbandwidth large-scale distributed storage systems. Given the limited bandwidth between replicas, these systems suffer from long re...
