A pervasive requirement of distributed systems is to deal with churn — change in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A high churn rate ca...
Generational collection has improved the efficiency of garbage collection in fast-allocating programs by focusing on collecting young garbage, but has done little to reduce the co...
We consider two schemes for the distributionof Web documents. In the first scheme the sender repeatedly transmits the Web document into a multicast address, and receivers asynchr...
Exponential algorithms, i.e. algorithms of complexity O(cn ) for some c > 1, seem to be unavoidable in the case of NP-complete problems (unless P=NP), especially if the problem ...
Markov logic networks (MLNs) use firstorder formulas to define features of Markov networks. Current MLN structure learners can only learn short clauses (4-5 literals) due to extre...
