In this paper we consider server farms with a setup cost. This model is common in manufacturing systems and data centers, where there is a cost to turn servers on. Setup costs alw...
We propose a subspace learning algorithm for face recognition by directly optimizing recognition performance scores. Our approach is motivated by the following observations: 1) Di...
Reliability decisions taken early in system design can bring significant benefits in terms of design quality. This paper presents a 0-1 integer linear programming (ILP) formulatio...
Abstract Design patterns are micro architectures, high-level building blocks which describe the solutions to speci c problems in software design. These solutions have generally bee...
