Web service composition (WSC) techniques assume that the parameters used to model the environment remain static and accurate throughout the composition's execution. However, W...
The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
Abstract. Binary Factor Analysis (BFA) is a typical problem of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) where the signal sources are binary. Parameter learning and model selection in B...
We study the communication complexity of rumor spreading in the random phone-call model. Suppose n players communicate in parallel rounds, where in each round every player calls a...
Several new Complex Event Processing (CEP) engines have been recently released, many of which are intended to be used in performance sensitive scenarios - like fraud detection, tr...
