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...
—Network coding is a method that promises to achieve the min-cut capacity in multicasts. However, pushing towards this gain in throughput comes with two sacrifices. Delay suffer...
We consider a push pull queueing system with two servers and two types of jobs which are processed by the two servers in opposite order, with stochastic generally distributed proc...
In this paper, we rigorously analyse how the magnitude and frequency of change may affect the performance of the algorithm (1+1) EAdyn on a set of artificially designed pseudo-Bo...
The paper is concerned with applying learning to rank to document retrieval. Ranking SVM is a typical method of learning to rank. We point out that there are two factors one must ...
