When integrating data from autonomous sources, exact matches of data items that represent the same real world object often fail due to a lack of common keys. Yet in many cases str...
Abstract. The parameter-less hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) enables the use of hBOA without the need for tuning parameters for solving each problem instance. T...
Distributed-system observation tools require an efficient data structure to store and query the partial-order of execution. Such data structures typically use vector timestamps to...
From personal software to advanced systems, caching mechanisms have steadfastly been a ubiquitous means for reducing workloads. It is no surprise, then, that under the grid and clu...
Despite recent developments in higher-level middleware for the Grid supporting high level of ease-of-programming, hurdles for widespread adoption of Grids remain high, due to (1) ...
