Distributed databases and other networked information systems use copies or mirrors to reduce latency and to increase availability. Copies need to be refreshed. In a loosely coupl...
In this paper, we present a graphical model for protein secondary structure prediction. This model extends segmental semi-Markov models (SSMM) to exploit multiple sequence alignme...
While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
This paper presents a new prediction model for predicting when an online customer leaves a current page and which next Web page the customer will visit. The model can forecast the ...
Abstract Advances in wireless sensor networks and positioning technologies enable new applications monitoring moving objects. Some of these applications, such as traffic managemen...
