A complexity-constrained inter-mode decision algorithm for H.264/AVC video coding is developed using a rate-distortioncomplexity (RDC) optimization framework in this work. The pro...
Modern programs frequently employ sophisticated modular designs. As a result, performance problems cannot be identified from costs attributed to routines in isolation; understand...

This paper presents the application of a reinforcement learning (RL) approach for the near-optimal control of a re-entrant line manufacturing (RLM) model. The RL approach utilizes...
— Accurate query performance prediction (QPP) is central to effective resource management, query optimization and query scheduling. Analytical cost models, used in current genera...
