We discuss the tensions between intensionality and extensionality of spatial observations in distributed systems, showing that there are natural models where extensional observati...
CorGen is a web server that measures long-range correlations in the base composition of DNA and generates random sequences with the same correlation parameters. Long-range correla...
Component based design is a new paradigm to build distributed systems and applications. The problem of compositional verification of such systems is however still open. We investig...
To support context-based multimodal interpretation in conversational systems, we have developed a semantics-based representation to capture salient information from user inputs an...
Automatic tuning has been an elusive goal for database technology for a long time and is becoming a pressing issue for modern E-services. This paper reviews and assesses the advan...
