Web caching is an important technique for accelerating web applications and reducing the load on the web server and the network through local cache accesses. As in the traditional...
Learning agents, whether natural or artificial, must update their internal parameters in order to improve their behavior over time. In reinforcement learning, this plasticity is ...
Most programming languages support a call stack in the programming model and also in the runtime system. We show that for applications targeting low-power embedded microcontroller...
We define some interesting incentive issues that arise in the management of virtual infrastructures. We demonstrate that participants’ decisions about the quantities of infrast...
Low-level image analysis systems typically detect "points of interest", i.e., areas of natural images that contain corners or edges. Most of the robust and computationall...
