Computing aggregates over selected categories of multidimensional discrete data (MDD) cubes is the core operation of many on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems. In order to...
Conventional conversational recommender systems support interaction strategies that are hard-coded into the system in advance. In this context, Reinforcement Learning techniques h...
Safeguarding practices for networked systems involves decisions in at least three areas: identification of welldefined security policies, selection of cost-effective defense strat...
A pervasive requirement of distributed systems is to deal with churn — change in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A high churn rate ca...
Self-management is a key feature of autonomic systems. This often demands the dynamic reconfiguration of a distributed application. An important issue in the reconfiguration proce...
