In previous work on point matching, a set of points is often treated as an instance of a joint distribution to exploit global relationships in the point set. For nonrigid shapes, h...
This paper presents an efficient solution technique for the steady-state analysis of the second-order Stochastic Fluid Model underlying a second-order Fluid Stochastic Petri Net (...
Prediction markets efficiently extract and aggregate the private information held by individuals about events and facts that can be publicly verified. However, facts such as the e...
An accurate cost-model that accounts for dataset size and structure can help optimize geoscience data analysis. We develop and apply a computational model to estimate data analysi...
Mediator systems integrate distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous data sources, but their e ective use requires the solution of hard query optimization problems. This is usuall...
