BlobTree modelling has been used in several solid modelling packages to rapidly prototype models by making use of boolean and sketch-based modelling. Using these two techniques, a user can quickly create complex models as ...

We study online active learning under the Bernstein condition for bounded general losses and offer a solution for online variance estimation. Our suggested algorithm is based on IWAL (Importance Weighted Active Learning) ...

The adoption of Health Information Systems (HIS) by primary care clinics and practitioners has become a standard in the healthcare industry. This increase in HIS utilization enables the informatization and automation of ...

In this dissertation we describe the event processing autonomic computing reference architecture (EPACRA), an innovative reference architecture that solves many important problems related to adaptive root cause analysis ...

Canada has 418 million hectares of forests, representing 10% of the forested land in the world [I]. In 1997, Canada signed the Kyoto Protocol and agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by six percent below the 1990 level ...

As Multi-Protocol Label Switched (MPLS) networks increase in usage and size, the number of traffic engineered tunnels or Label Switched Paths (LSPs) which must be established has an impact on network state maintenance, ...

AI-supported programming has arrived, as shown by the introduction and successes of large language models for code, such as Copilot/Codex (Github/OpenAI) and AlphaCode (DeepMind). Above-average human performance on programming ...

Molecular biologists use algorithms that compare and otherwise analyze sequences that represent genetic and protein molecules. Most of these algorithms, however, operate on the basic sequence and do not incorporate the ...

Scientific projects, businesses, and individual devices such as smart phones, tablets and embedded devices are collecting and retaining unparalleled and growing amounts of data. Initially, spatial locality of the data ...
