We introduce and validate bootstrap techniques to compute confidence intervals that quantify the effect of test-collection variability on average precision (AP) and mean average...
This paper investigates fault tolerance issues in Bistro, a wide area upload architecture. In Bistro, clients first upload their data to intermediaries, known as bistros. A destin...
— Channel-aware scheduling strategies, such as the Proportional Fair algorithm for the CDMA 1xEV-DO system, provide an effective mechanism for improving throughput performance in...
Adaptive techniques like voltage and frequency scaling, process variations and the randomness of input data contribute signi cantly to the statistical aspect of contemporary hardwa...
— Performance comparison of multiuser OFDM-TDMA and OFDMA systems by considering physical and link cross-layer behavior is conducted in this work. We provide a new framework for ...
