Grid technologies are emerging as the next generation of distributed computing, allowing the aggregation of resources that are geographically distributed across different location...
Memory-based methods for collaborative filtering predict new ratings by averaging (weighted) ratings between, respectively, pairs of similar users or items. In practice, a large ...

The revelation principle is a cornerstone tool in mechanism design. It states that one can restrict attention, without loss in the designer’s objective, to mechanisms in which A...
Dimensional reduction is a simplification technique that eliminates one or more dimensions from a boundary value problem. It results in significant computational savings with mini...
Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
