Grid users may experience inconsistent performance due to specific characteristics of grids, such as fluctuating workloads, high failure rates, and high resource heterogeneity. Alt...
We present methods to answer two basic questions that arise when benchmarking optimization algorithms. The first one is: which algorithm is the `best' one? and the second one:...
We present a new evaluation criterion for the induction of decision trees. We exploit a parameter-free Bayesian approach and propose an analytic formula for the evaluation of the p...
