Parallel database systems have to support the effective parallelization of complex queries in multi-user mode, i.e. in combination with inter-query/inter-transaction parallelism. ...
The end-to-end performance of natural language processing systems for compound tasks, such as question answering and textual entailment, is often hampered by use of a greedy 1-bes...

The problem of reinforcement learning in large factored Markov decision processes is explored. The Q-value of a state-action pair is approximated by the free energy of a product o...
We discuss how constraint programming can improve the performance of a column generation solution process for the NP-hard Tail Assignment problem in aircraft scheduling. Combining...
In this paper we propose a systematic approach to performance analysis of workflow applications on the Grid. We introduce an ideal model for the workflow execution time and explain...
