This paper reports work to support dependability arguments about the future reliability of a product before there is direct empirical evidence. We develop a method for estimating ...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
This paper presents new techniques for focusing the discoveryof frequent itemsets within large, dense datasets containing highly frequent items. The existence of highly frequent i...
Language learning from positive data in the Gold model of inductive inference is investigated in a setting where the data can be modeled as a stochastic process. Specifically, the...
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology uses radio-frequency waves to automatically identify people or objects. A large volume of data, resulting from the fast capturing ...
