View materialization is a central issue in logical design of data warehouses since it is one of the most powerful techniques to improve the response to the workload. Most approach...
In database query processing, actual run-time conditions (e.g., actual selectivities and actual available memory) very often differ from compile-time expectations of run-time cond...
We propose a novel boosting algorithm which improves on current algorithms for weighted voting classification by striking a better balance between classification accuracy and the ...
We consider the restless multi-armed bandit (RMAB) problem with unknown dynamics. In this problem, at each time, a player chooses K out of N (N > K) arms to play. The state of ...
The error threshold of replication is an important notion of the quasispecies evolution model; it is a critical mutation rate (error rate) beyond which structures obtained by an e...
