Continuations, or ’the rest of the computation’, are a concept that is most often used in the context of functional and dynamic programming languages. Implementations of such ...
Measuring system performance seems conceptually straightforward. However, the interpretation of the results and predicting future performance remain as exceptional challenges in s...
Factory physics provides a systematic description, expressed as laws, of the underlying behavior of a system. These laws can provide important assistance in performing simulation ...
This paper describes our first large-scale retrieval attempt in TREC-7 using DSIR. DSIR is a vector space based retrieval system in which semantic similarity between words, docume...
