We address the problem of making online, parallel query plans fault-tolerant: i.e., provide intra-query fault-tolerance without blocking. We develop an approach that not only achi...
Managing operating systems and campus-supported software can be a daunting challenge. Many colleges and universities handle these challenges by using disk imaging software to crea...
Heuristic Algorithms (HA) are very widely used to tackle practical problems in operations research. They are simple, easy to understand and inspire confidence. Many of these HAs a...
In this contribution, we explore the possibilities of learning in large-scale, multimodal processing systems operating under real-world conditions. Using an instance of a large-sca...
