Rational Coordination in Multi-Agent Environments
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-12)
We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm to determine the choice of coordinated ...
Evolutionary techniques for updating query cost models in a dynamic multidatabase environment
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-05)
Deriving local cost models for query optimization in a dynamic multidatabase system (MDBS) is a challenging issue. In this paper, we study how to evolve a query cost model to capture a slowly-changing dynamic MDBS environment ...
Practical methods for constructing suffix trees
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-09)
Sequence datasets are ubiquitous in modern life-science applications, and querying sequences is a common and critical operation in many of these applications. The suffix tree is a versatile data structure that can be used ...
Emergent Properties of a Market-based Digital Library with Strategic Agents
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-03)

A supervised clustering algorithm for computer intrusion detection
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-11)
We previously developed a clustering and classification algorithm—supervised (CCAS) to learn patterns of normal and intrusive activities and to classify observed system activities. Here we further enhance the robustness ...
Optimizing complex queries based on similarities of subqueries
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-09)
As database technology is applied to more and more application domains, user queries are becoming increasingly complex (e.g. involving a large number of joins and a complex query structure). Query optimizers in existing ...
CAS-DSM: A Compiler Assisted Software Distributed Shared Memory
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-04)
Traditional software Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems rely on the virtual memory management mechanisms to detect accesses to shared memory locations and maintain their consistency. The resulting involvement of the ...
