Cooperative checkpointing uses global knowledge of the state and health of the machine to improve performance and reliability by dynamically deciding when to skip checkpoint reque...
This paper shows that using some very simple practical assumptions, one can design an algorithm that finds the nearest neighbor of a given query point in O(log n) time in theory ...
Valiant’s (2007) model of evolvability models the evolutionary process of acquiring useful functionality as a restricted form of learning from random examples. Linear threshold ...
Because the knowledge required for the construction of a complex software system is often widely distributed among its members, programmers routinely engage in collaboration with ...
This paper constructs a logic of soft constraints where the set of degrees of preference forms a partially ordered set. When the partially ordered set is a distributive lattice, th...
