We present Variable Influence Structure Analysis, or VISA, an algorithm that performs hierarchical decomposition of factored Markov decision processes. VISA uses a dynamic Bayesia...
Checkpointing is a commonly used approach to provide system fault-tolerance. However, using a constant checkpointing frequency may compromise the system's overall performance ...
In this paper we introduce the concept and method for adaptively tuning the model complexity in an online manner as more examples become available. Challenging classification pro...
This research investigates the automation of security assessment of the static and dynamic properties of cyberinfrastructures, with emphasis on the electrical power grid. We descr...
Data stream applications have made use of statistical summaries to reason about the data using nonparametric tools such as histograms, heavy hitters, and join sizes. However, rela...
