Intensive computations required for sensing and processing perceptual information can impose significant burdens on personal computer systems. We explore several policies for sel...
Cloud computing has emerged as a multi-tenant resource sharing platform, which allows different service providers to deliver software as services in an economical way. However, fo...
Abstract. Many vector-valued functions, representing expensive computations, are also structured computations. In this case the calculation of the Newton step can be greatly accele...
Abstract. Designing and programming dependable distributed applications is very difficult. Databases provide features like transactions and replication that can help in the impleme...
We study the problem of fairly dividing a set of goods amongst a group of agents, when those agents have preferences that are ordinal relations over alternative bundles of goods (r...
