Given the increasing traffic on the World Wide Web (Web), it is difficult for a single popular Web server to handle the demand from its many clients. By clustering a group of Web ...
Quadratic Programming (QP) is the well-studied problem of maximizing over {−1, 1} values the quadratic form i=j aijxixj. QP captures many known combinatorial optimization proble...
We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
Query optimizers rely on fast, high-quality estimates of result sizes in order to select between various join plans. Selfjoin sizes of relations provide bounds on the join size of...

The importance of testing approaches that exploit error tolerance to improve yield has previously been established. Error rate, defined as the percentage of vectors for which the...
