"Position bias" describes the tendency of users to interact with items on top of a list with higher probability than with items at a lower position in the list, regardless of the items' actual relevance. In the domain of recommender…
Research computing centers around the world struggle with onboarding new users. Subject matter experts, researchers, and principal investigators are often overwhelmed by the complex infrastructure and software offerings designed to support…
The distributed system use to enhance the performance of all types of multimedia service in the next generation network. The packet loss occurs in the video on demand system due to delay and huge traffic load from the both sides of client…
While digital libraries offer essential benefits for the digital age such as constant availability and accessibility, they often fail in providing a similarly enjoyable browsing experience that benefits engagement and serendipitous…
Recommendation systems aim to identify items that are likely to be of interest to users. In many cases, users are interested in package recommendations as collections of items. For example, a dietitian may wish to derive a dietary plan as a…
Recommender systems aim to fulfill the user's daily demands. While most existing research focuses on maximizing the user's engagement with the system, it has recently been pointed out that how frequently the users come back for the service…
Facility location queries identify the best locations to set up new facilities for providing service to its users. Majority of the existing works in this space assume that the user locations are static. Such limitations are too restrictive…
Our work delves into user behaviour at Electric Vehicle(EV) charging stations during peak times, particularly focusing on how impatience drives balking (not joining queues) and reneging (leaving queues prematurely). We introduce an…
In our daily lives, organizing resources into a set of categories is a common task. Categorization becomes more useful as the collection of resources increases. Large collections of books, movies, and web pages, for instance, are cataloged…
The ongoing energy transition is significantly increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in power systems; however, their intermittency and variability pose substantial challenges, including load shedding and system congestion.…
In this paper, we study the challenging problem of how to balance taxi distribution across a city in a dynamic ridesharing service. First, we introduce the architecture of the dynamic ridesharing system and formally define the performance…
Modern software systems are increasingly dependent on third-party libraries. It is widely recognized that using mature and well-tested third-party libraries can improve developers' productivity, reduce time-to-market, and produce more…
An innumerable number of individual choices go into discovering a new book. There are unmistakably two groups of booklovers: those who like to search online, follow other people's latest readings, or simply react to a system's…
A common phenomena in modern recommendation systems is the use of feedback from one user to infer the `value' of an item to other users. This results in an exploration vs. exploitation trade-off, in which items of possibly low value have to…
Caching at the wireless edge nodes is a promising way to boost the spatial and spectral efficiency, for the sake of alleviating networks from content-related traffic. Coded caching originally introduced by Maddah-Ali and Niesen…
Indoor Positioning Systems (IPSs) hold significant potential for enhancing visitor experiences in cultural heritage institutions. By enabling personalized navigation, efficient artifact organization, and better interaction with exhibits,…
The main principle of the Library 2.0 is in the fact that the information has to be spread from the library to the user and viceversa, to allow fast and permanent adaptation of the library services. Within the framework of the…
Rethinking cities is now more imperative than ever, as society faces global challenges such as population growth and climate change. The design of cities can not be abstracted from the design of its mobility system, and, therefore,…
Ride-sharing - the combination of multiple trips into one - may substantially contribute towards sustainable urban mobility. It is most efficient at high demand locations with many similar trip requests. However, here we reveal that…
We consider the problem of online resource allocation with average budget constraints. At each time point the decision maker makes an irrevocable decision of whether to accept or reject a request before the next request arrives with the…
