A large number and diversity of techniques have been offered in the literature in recent years for solving multi-label classification tasks, including classifier chains where predictions are cascaded to other models as additional features.…

Accurately and efficiently estimating system performance under uncertainty is paramount in power system planning and operation. Monte Carlo simulation is often used for this purpose, but convergence may be slow, especially when detailed…

Nowadays, scientific databases have become the bread-and-butter of particle physicists. These databases must be maintained and checked repeatedly to insure the accuracy of their content. The COMPETE collaboration aims at motivating data…

Even though computational reproducibility is widely accepted as necessary for research validation and reuse, it is often not considered during the research process. This is because reproducibility tools are typically stand-alone and require…

Region-based memory management (RBMM) is a form of compile time memory management, well-known from the functional programming world. In this paper we describe our work on implementing RBMM for the logic programming language Mercury. One…

RunMC is an object-oriented framework aimed to generate and to analyse high-energy collisions of elementary particles using Monte Carlo simulations. This package, being based on C++ adopted by CERN as the main programming language for the…

The use of virtual data for enhancing the collaboration between large groups of scientists is explored in several ways: - by defining ``virtual'' parameter spaces which can be searched and shared in an organized way by a collaboration of…

Database system is an indispensable part of software projects. It plays an important role in data organization and storage. Its performance and efficiency are directly related to the performance of software. Nowadays, we have many general…

The CEDAR collaboration is extending and combining the JetWeb and HepData systems to provide a single service for tuning and validating models of high-energy physics processes. The centrepiece of this activity is the fitting by JetWeb of…

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is continuing to grow outside the bounds of its initial function as a metadata framework and into the domain of general-purpose data modeling. This expansion has been facilitated by the continued…

The radial basis function (RBF) and quasi Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are two very promising schemes to handle high-dimension problems with complex and moving boundary geometry due to the fact that they are independent of dimensionality and…

Software Repositories contain knowledge on how software engineering teams work, communicate, and collaborate. It can be used to develop a data-informed view of a team's development process, which in turn can be employed for process…

This paper describes our experience with using Grid files as the main storage organization for a relational database management system. We primarily focus on the following two aspects. (i) Strategies for implementing grid files efficiently.…

Multi-tenant database systems have a component called the Resource Manager, or RM that is responsible for allocating resources to tenants. RMs today do not provide direct support for performance objectives such as: "Average job response…

Range aggregate queries (RAQs) are an integral part of many real-world applications, where, often, fast and approximate answers for the queries are desired. Recent work has studied answering RAQs using machine learning models, where a model…

Monte Carlo (MC) simulation includes a wide range of stochastic techniques used to quantitatively evaluate the behavior of complex systems or processes. Microsoft Excel spreadsheets with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) software is,…

This document is designed to give a new ResFrac user the tools that they need to succeed. It describes what ResFrac does and how to use it. We cover much more than just button pressing. Using ResFrac successfully requires high-level…

Considering relational databases having powerful capabilities in handling security, user authentication, query optimization, etc., several commercial and academic frameworks reuse relational databases to store and query semi-structured data…

The position we advocate in this paper is that relational algebra can provide a unified language for both representing and computing with statistical-relational objects, much as linear algebra does for traditional single-table machine…

Data centers have been evolved from a passive element of compute infrastructure to become an active, core part of any ICT solution. In particular, modular data centers (MDCs), which are a promising design approach to improve resiliency of…
