We present a new methodology of user simulation applied to the evaluation and refinement of stochastic dialog systems. Common weaknesses of these systems are the scarceness of the...
This paper describes an efficient and accurate approach to estimate the network distance between arbitrary Internet hosts. We use three landmark hosts forming a triangle in two-di...
The article presents a local search approach for the solution of timetabling problems in general, with a particular implementation for competition track 3 of the International Time...
This research investigates the problem of robust static resource allocation for distributed computing systems operating under imposed Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. Often, ...
