High quality is one of the critical elements contributing to Web service’s success. Monitoring events that are sensitive to quality of Web services is thus an important issue fo...
In this paper, we present a replanning algorithm for a decision-theoretic hierarchical planner, illustrate the experimental methodology we designed to investigate its performance,...
We investigate operating system noise, which we identify as one of the main reasons for a lack of synchronicity in parallel applications. Using a microbenchmark, we measure the no...

This paper presents a Q-learning based scheme for managing the partial coverage problem and the ill effects of free riding in unstructured P2P networks. Based on various parameter ...
In many database applications, there are opportunities for multiple top-N queries to be evaluated at the same time. Often it is more cost effective to evaluate multiple such queri...
