Websites are shifting from static model to dynamic model, in order to deliver their users with dynamic, interactive, and personalized experiences. However, dynamic content generation comes at a cost – each request ...

Game theory and mechanism design have emerged as an important tool to model, analyze,and solve decentralized design problems involving multiple agents that interact strategically in a rational and intelligent way. Some ...

QoS routing is one of the major building blocks for supporting QoS in communication networks and, hence, a necessary component of future communication networks. Bandwidth- Constrained Routing Algorithm (BCRA) may help to ...

Data Mining deals with extracting valid, novel, easily understood by humans, potentially useful and general abstractions from large data. A data is large when number of patterns, number of features per pattern or both are ...

Kullback-Leibler relative-entropy or KL-entropy of P with respect to R defined as ∫xlnddPRdP , where P and R are probability measures on a measurable space (X, ), plays a basic role in the definitions of classical information ...

Complex economic activity often involves inter-relationships at several levels of production, often referred to as supply chains or procurement networks. In this thesis we address the problem of forming procurement networks ...

Processor architectures are becoming increasingly complex and hence architects have to evaluate a large design space consisting of several parameters, each with a number of potential settings. In order to assist in guiding ...
