In this paper, a method is presented for the efficient estimation of rare-event (buffer overflow) probabilities in queueing networks using importance sampling. Unlike previously pr...
useful for optimizing compilers [15], partial evaluators [11], abstract debuggers [1], models-checkers [2], formal verifiers [13], etc. The difficulty of the task comes from the fa...
Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, where constraints and/or partial assignments are associated to preference or importance levels, and constraints are...
1 We address the problem of resource management for a large-scale cloud environment that hosts sites. Our contribution centers around outlining a distributed middleware architectur...
Unknown lexical items present a major obstacle to the development of broadcoverage semantic role labeling systems. We address this problem with a semisupervised learning approach ...
