A widely used computational model for constructing fault-tolerant distributed applications employs atomic transactions for controlling operations on persistent objects. There has ...
Performance characteristics, such as response time, throughput and scalability, are key quality attributes of distributed applications. Current practice, however, rarely applies s...
In many classification applications, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have proven to be highly performing and easy to handle classifiers with very good generalization abilities. Howe...
This paper discusses extensions to the Rover toolkit for constructing reliable mobile-aware applications. The extensions improve upon the existing failure model, which only addres...
The Semantic Web initiative defines important challenges for knowledge representation and database systems. Recently, several standards for representation languages have been pro...
