To improve data availability and resilience MapReduce frameworks use file systems that replicate data uniformly. However, analysis of job logs from a large production cluster show...
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
— Designing and implementing artificial self-organizing systems is a challenging task since they typically behave nonintuitive and no theoretical foundations exist. Predicting a...
Web communities are web virtual broadcasting spaces where people can freely discuss anything. While such communities function as discussion boards, they have even greater value as...
This work introduces two complementary techniques to improve the packet loss resilience of scalable video coding systems. First, a “switch per-pixel” error concealment (SPEC) ...
