Abstract. With the increasing popularity of large-scale distributed computing networks, a new aspect has to be considered for scheduling problems: machines may not be available per...
The Globus Toolkit is properly configured open source software for setting up grid nodes across multiple heterogeneous platforms. The process of grid enabling a machine is a long ...
We show that it is possible to use data compression on independently obtained hypotheses from various tasks to algorithmically provide guarantees that the tasks are sufficiently r...
We propose a new boosting algorithm for bipartite ranking problems. Our boosting algorithm, called SoftRankBoost, is a modification of RankBoost which maintains only smooth distri...
Abstract—A premier goal of resource allocators in virtualization environments is to control the relative resource consumption of the different virtual machines, and moreover, to ...
