An acceptable response time of a server is an important aspect in many client-server applications; this is evident in situations in which the server is overloaded by many computationally intensive requests. In this work, we consider that…
Quantum cloud computing enables remote access to quantum processors, yet the heterogeneity and noise of available quantum hardware create significant challenges for efficient resource orchestration. These issues complicate the optimization…
Neural approaches have become very popular in Question Answering (QA), however, they require a large amount of annotated data. In this work, we propose a novel approach that combines data augmentation via question-answer generation with…
In the data center, unexpected downtime caused by memory failures can lead to a decline in the stability of the server and even the entire information technology infrastructure, which harms the business. Therefore, whether the memory…
Traditional information retrieval (such as that offered by web search engines) impedes users with information overload from extensive result pages and the need to manually locate the desired information therein. Conversely,…
A queue is required when a service provider is not able to handle jobs arriving over the time. In a highly flexible and dynamic environment, some jobs might demand for faster execution at run-time especially when the resources are limited…
The focus on rapid software delivery inevitably results in the accumulation of technical debt, which, in turn, affects quality and slows future development. Yet, companies with a long history of rapid delivery exist. Our primary aim is to…
In data warehouse and data mart systems, queries often take a long time to execute due to their complex nature. Query response times can be greatly improved by caching final/intermediate results of previous queries, and using them to answer…
Currently, a growing number of health consumers are asking health-related questions online, at any time and from anywhere, which effectively lowers the cost of health care. The most common approach is using online health expert…
Ecommerce is an area where an Autonomic Computing system could be very effectively deployed. Ecommerce has created demand for high quality information technology services and businesses are seeking quality of service guarantees from their…
Online surveys have the potential to support adaptive questions, where later questions depend on earlier responses. Past work has taken a rule-based approach, uniformly across all respondents. We envision a richer interpretation of adaptive…
With more and more meetings moving to a digital domain, meeting summarization has recently gained interest in both academic and commercial research. However, prior academic research focuses on meeting summarization as an offline task,…
The examination of performance changes or the performance behavior of a software requires the measurement of the performance. This is done via probes, i.e., pieces of code which obtain and process measurement data, and which are inserted…
Data warehousing is continuously gaining importance as organizations are realizing the benefits of decision oriented data bases. However, the stumbling block to this rapid development is data quality issues at various stages of data…
Though competitive analysis has been a very useful performance measure for the quality of online algorithms, it is recognized that it sometimes fails to distinguish between algorithms of different quality in practice. A number of…
Mobile platforms must satisfy the contradictory requirements of fast response time and minimum energy consumption as a function of dynamically changing applications. To address this need, system-on-chips (SoC) that are at the heart of these…
Each time a learner in a self-paced online course seeks to answer an assessment question, it takes some time for the student to read the question and arrive at an answer to submit. If multiple attempts are allowed, and the first answer is…
While test-time scaling has enabled large language models to solve highly difficult tasks, state-of-the-art results come at exorbitant compute costs. These inefficiencies can be attributed to the miscalibration of post-trained language…
Most commercial embedded devices have been deployed with a single processor architecture. The code size and complexity of applications running on embedded devices are rapidly increasing due to the emergence of application business models…
Given the network latency variability observed in data centers, applications' performance is also determined by their placement within the data centre. We present NoMora, a cluster scheduling architecture whose core is represented by a…
