Clustering methods optimize the partitioning of data points with respect to an internal metric, such as likelihood, in order to approximate the goodness of clustering. However, this internal metric does not necessarily ...

This report presents a set of software techniques that support the tasks of event recognition, summarization of event sequences, explanation of recognized events, explanation of non-recognized events, prediction of event ...

We present SPR, a new program repair system that uses condition synthesis to instantiate transformation schemas to repair program defects. SPR s staged repair strategy combines a rich space of potential repairs with a ...

The FLP result shows that crash-tolerant consensus is impossible to solve in asynchronous systems, and several solutions have been proposed for crash-tolerant consensus under alternative (stronger) models. One popular ...

The purpose of this work is two fold: on one hand we want to formalize the behavior of critical components of the self generating and adapting cognitive middleware AWDRAT such that the formalism not only helps to understand ...

Network alignment refers to the problem of finding a bijective mapping across vertices of two or more graphs to maximize the number of overlapping edges and/or to minimize the number of mismatched interactions across ...

We present PCR, a new automatic patch generation system. PCR uses a new condition synthesis technique to efficiently discover logical expressions that generate desired control- flow transfer patterns. Presented with a set ...

We analyze reported patches for three prior generate-and-validate patch generation systems (GenProg, RSRepair, and AE). Because of experimental error, the majority of the reported patches violate the basic principle behind ...

The systemic structure of TCP/IP is outdated; a new scheme for data transportation is needed in order to make the internet more adaptive to modern demands of mobility, information-driven demand, ever-increasing quantity ...

It is challenging to obtain online solutions of large-scale integer linear programming (ILP) problems that occur frequently in slightly different forms during planning for autonomous systems. We refer to such ILP problems ...

This archive contains supplementary materials for the article titled "A Survey of Corpora in Computational and Cognitive Narrative Science" by Mark A. Finlayson, published in the journal *Sprache und Datenverarbeitung*. ...

Labor and Delivery is a complex clinical service requiring the support of highly trained healthcare professionals from Obstetrics, Anesthesiology, and Neonatology and the access to a finite set of valuable resources. In ...

Several models exist for diffusion of signals across biological, social, or engineered networks. However, the inverse problem of identifying the source of such propagated information appears more difficult even in the ...

Planning for and controlling a network of interacting devices requires a planner that accounts for the automatic timed transitions of devices while meeting deadlines and achieving durative goals. For example, a planner for ...

We present pDNA, a system for automatically transfer- ring correct code from donor applications into recipient applications to successfully eliminate errors in the recipient. Experimental results using six donor applications ...
