We present ELEM2, a new method for inducing classification rules from a set of examples. The method employs several new strategies in the induction and classification processes to ...
The empirical curve bounding problem is de ned as follows. Suppose data vectors X Y are presented such that E(Y i]) = f(X i]) where f(x) is an unknown function. The problem is to a...
A skeletal stroke is a kind of general brush stroke for changing the shape of pictures as if by bending, shearing, twisting, while conservating the aspect ratio of selected featur...
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...
