In a distributed computing system (DCS), we need to allocate a number of modules to different processors for execution. It is desired to maximize the processor synergism in order...
Parallel platforms are becoming ubiquitous with modern computing systems. Many parallel applications attempt to avoid locks in order to achieve high responsiveness, aid scalabilit...
The backup of large data sets is preferably performed automatically outside of regular working hours. In highly structured computer networks, however, faults and exceptions may rel...
When integrating dierent system components, the interaction between dierent features is often error prone. Typically errors occur on interruption, concurrency or disabling/ enabli...
This paper analyzes the potential advantages and theoretical challenges of “active learning” algorithms. Active learning involves sequential sampling procedures that use infor...
