In recent years we have witnessed a great interest in large distributed computing platforms, also known as clouds. While these systems offer enormous computing power, they are howe...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) multimedia application is expected to be one of the most important services supported by the next generation networks. However, how to balance server load in re...
This paper explores thread scheduling on an increasingly popular architecture: chip multiprocessors with simultaneous multithreading cores. Conventional multiprocessor scheduling,...
In this paper, we present an adaptive load diffusion operator to enable scalable processing of Multiway Windowed Stream Joins (MWSJs) using a cluster system. The load diffusion is...
We consider the policy search approach to reinforcement learning. We show that if a “baseline distribution” is given (indicating roughly how often we expect a good policy to v...
