Planning in large, partially observable domains is challenging, especially when a long-horizon lookahead is necessary to obtain a good policy. Traditional POMDP planners that plan...
Programs are fragile for many reasons, including software errors, partial failures, and network problems. One way to make software more robust is to design it from the start as a ...
: Problem statement: For a sensor network comprising autonomous and self-organizing data sources, efficient similarity-based search for semantic-rich resources (such as video data)...
In this paper we eliminate the need for parameter estimation associated with the set covering machine (SCM) by directly minimizing generalization error bounds. Firstly, we consider...
— Accurately estimating end-to-end performance in distributed systems is essential both for monitoring compliance with service-level agreements (SLAs) and for performance optimiz...
