Estimating the result size of complex queries that involve selection on multiple attributes and the join of several relations is a difficult but fundamental task in database query...
— This paper describes an ontology-driven model, which integrates Bayesian Networks (BN) into the Ontology Web Language (OWL) to preserve the advantages of both. This model makes...
Blocking probabilities in Wavelength Division Multiplex optical networks are hard to compute for realistic sized systems, even though analytical formulas for the distribution exis...
A Web proxy must accurately predict network performance between itself and its servers and clients in order to make good distillation decisions. In this paper, we show that the cu...
Ancestral graph models, introduced by Richardson and Spirtes (2002), generalize both Markov random fields and Bayesian networks to a class of graphs with a global Markov property ...
