We consider the problem of recommending the best set of k items when there is an inherent ordering between items, expressed as a set of prerequisites (e.g., the course ‘Real Ana...
Abstract. For large distributed systems built from inexpensive components, one expects to see incessant failures. This paper proposes two models for such faults and analyzes two we...
This paper deals with convex relaxations for quadratic distance problems, a class of optimization problems relevant to several important topics in the analysis and synthesis of ro...
We show how to view certain subclasses of (single-pushout) graph transformation systems as well-structured transition systems, which leads to decidability of the covering problem v...
Over the past five years, large-scale storage installations have required fault-protection beyond RAID-5, leading to a flurry of research on and development of erasure codes for m...
