We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
Motivation: A few years ago, FlyBase undertook to design a new database schema to store Drosophila data. It would fully integrate genomic sequence and annotation data with bibliog...
Abstract In this paper we propose a novel parallel algorithm for frequent itemset mining. The algorithm is based on the filter-stream programming model, in which the frequent item...

In this paper, we analyze the impact of different automatic annotation methods on the performance of supervised approaches to the complex question answering problem (defined in th...
, are to address what we perceive as the most pressing shortcomings of current reflective middleware platforms. First, performance: in the worst case, this needs to be on a par wit...
