Excessive buffer requirement to handle continuous-media playbacks is an impediment to costeffective provisioning for on-line video retrieval. Given the skewed distribution of video...
Obtaining performance models, like Markov chains and queueing networks, for systems of significant complexity and magnitude is a difficult task that is usually tackled using human...
Abstract. In many biological examples of biased random walks, movement statistics are determined by state dynamics that are internal to the organism or cell and that mediate respon...
Utility elicitation is an important component of many applications, such as decision support systems and recommender systems. Such systems query users about their preferences and ...
