We study a peer-to-peer backup system, where users offer some of their storage space to provide service for the others. The economic model for such a system is different from the o...
Problem solvers, both human and machine, have at their disposal many heuristics that may support effective search. The efficacy of these heuristics, however, varies with the probl...
The problem of maximizing a concave function f(x) in a simplex S can be solved approximately by a simple greedy algorithm. For given k, the algorithm can find a point x(k) on a k-...
Most statistical parsers have used the grammar induction approach, in which a stochastic grammar is induced from a treebank. An alternative approach is to induce a controller for ...
In modular approaches to specify concurrent systems a system is built up from components using various operators as e.g. the sequential, the parallel, or the choice (+) operator. U...
