Although many variants of language models have been proposed for information retrieval, there are two related retrieval heuristics remaining “external” to the language modelin...
Due to constraints in cost, power, and communication, losses often arise in large sensor networks. The sensor can be modeled as an output of a linear stochastic system with random...

Even though the final objective of an access control model is to provide a framework to decide if actions performed by subjects on objects are permitted or not, it is not convenie...
We introduce a study of position auctions, with an explicit modeling of user navigation through ads. We refer to our model as the PPA model, since it is most applicable in the con...
In parallel systems, similar jobs tend to arrive within bursty periods. This fact leads to the existence of the locality phenomenon, a persistent similarity between nearby jobs, in...
