Numerous methodologies for developing agent-based systems have been proposed in the literature. However, their application is still limited due to their lack of maturity. Evaluati...
In this paper, we present SISYPHUS, a storage manager for data cubes that provides an efficient physical base for performing OLAP operations. On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) ...
This paper performs a comparative evaluation of two QoS architectures, RSVP Reservation Aggregation and Scalable ReservationBased QoS, aimed at providing QoS levels similar to the ...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) and contingency planning (CP) are two widely used approaches to planning under uncertainty. MDPs are attractive because the model is extremely gen...
This paper describes a simple and efficient method to make template-based object classification invariant to in-plane rotations. The task is divided into two parts: orientation di...
