In this paper we study the problem of designing concurrent searchable data structures with performance guarantees that can be used in a distributed environment where data elements...
Models for sequential decision making under uncertainty (e.g., Markov decision processes,or MDPs) have beenstudied in operations research for decades. The recent incorporation of ...
There are many in the information systemsdiscipline who believe that user participation is necessary for successful systems development. However, it has been suggested that this b...
The problem of selecting the best system from a finite set of alternatives is considered from a Bayesian decision-theoretic perspective. The framework presented is quite general,...
This paper presents the Reliable Multicast Protocol (RMP). RMP provides a totally ordered, reliable, atomic multicast service on top of an unreliable multicast datagram service su...
