Inference tasks in Markov random fields (MRFs) are closely related to the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) and its soft generalizations. In particular, MAP inference in MRF i...
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori (map) estimate of a discrete random field is of fundamental importance in many areas of Computer Science. In this work, we build ...
In this paper, we propose a Web based agent system called MiSpider, which provides intelligent web services on web browsers. MiSpider enables users to use agents on existing brows...
This paper deals with the emulation of atomic read/write (R/W) storage in dynamic asynchronous message passing systems. In static settings, it is well known that atomic R/W storag...
This article introduces and explores the condition-based approach to solve the consensus problem in asynchronous systems. The approach studies conditions that identify sets of inpu...
