Performance non-determinism in computer systems complicates evaluation, use, and even development of these systems. In performance evaluation via benchmarking and simulation, nond...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are controllable discrete event systems with stochastic transitions. Performances of an MDP are evaluated by a payoff function. The controller of ...
This paper evaluates the robustness of learning from implicit feedback in web search. In particular, we create a model of user behavior by drawing upon user studies in laboratory ...
This paper explores the issues faced in creating a sys-4 tem that can learn tactical human behavior merely by observing5 a human perform the behavior in a simulation. More specific...
—The paper analyzes the performance of the bandwidth allocation process over satellite communication systems in presence of specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The re...
