Skyline query processing has received considerable attention in the recent past. Mainly, the skyline query is used to find a set of non dominated data points in a multidimensional...
Distributed databases and other networked information systems use copies or mirrors to reduce latency and to increase availability. Copies need to be refreshed. In a loosely coupl...
Many real-time embedded systems involve a collection of independently executing event-driven code blocks, having hard real-time constraints. Tasks in many such systems, like netwo...

We consider the task of reinforcement learning in an environment in which rare significant events occur independently of the actions selected by the controlling agent. If these ev...
In this paper we introduce Ant-Q, a family of algorithms which present many similarities with Q-learning (Watkins, 1989), and which we apply to the solution of symmetric and asymm...
