A cost-sensitive extension of boosting, denoted as asymmetric boosting, is presented. Unlike previous proposals, the new algorithm is derived from sound decision-theoretic princip...
Automated email-based password reestablishment (EBPR) is an efficient, cost-effective means to deal with forgotten passwords. In this technique, email providers authenticate users ...
In XML databases, materializing queries and their results into views in a semantic cache can improve the performance of query evaluation by reducing computational complexity and I...
Service-level agreements (SLAs) establish a contract between service providers and clients concerning Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. Without proper penalties, service provid...
