RCS -- a system for version control

by Walter F. Tichy , 1991
"... An important problem in program development and maintenance is version control, i.e., the task of keeping a software system consisting of many versions and configurations well organized. The Revision Control System (RCS) is a software tool that assists with that task. RCS manages revisions of text d ..."

control using RCS. For conserving space, RCS stores deltas, i.e., differences between successive revisions. Several delta storage methods are discussed. Usage statistics show that RCS’s delta storage method is space and time efficient. The paper concludes with a detailed survey of version control tools.

Web Server Workload Characterization: The Search for Invariants (Extended Version)

by Martin F. Arlitt, Carey L. Williamson , 1996
"... The phenomenal growth in popularity of the World Wide Web (WWW, or the Web) has made WWW traffic the largest contributor to packet and byte traffic on the NSFNET backbone. This growth has triggered recent research aimed at reducing the volume of network traffic produced by Web clients and servers, b ..."

, by using caching, and reducing the latency for WWW users, by using improved protocols for Web interaction. Fundamental to the goal of improving WWW performance is an understanding of WWW workloads. This paper presents a workload characterization study for Internet Web servers. Six different data sets

Advances in Prospect Theory: Cumulative Representation of Uncertainty

by Amos Tversky, Daniel Kahneman - JOURNAL OF RISK AND UNCERTAINTY, 5:297-323 (1992) , 1992
"... We develop a new version of prospect theory that employs cumulative rather than separable decision weights and extends the theory in several respects. This version, called cumulative prospect theory, applies to uncertain as well as to risky prospects with any number of outcomes, and it allows differ ..."

SPEA2: Improving the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm

by Eckart Zitzler, Marco Laumanns, Lothar Thiele , 2001
"... The Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA) (Zitzler and Thiele 1999) is a relatively recent technique for finding or approximating the Pareto-optimal set for multiobjective optimization problems. In different studies (Zitzler and Thiele 1999; Zitzler, Deb, and Thiele 2000) SPEA has shown very ..."

Improved prediction of signal peptides -- SignalP 3.0

by Jannick Dyrløv Bendtsen, Henrik Nielsen, Gunnar von Heijne, Søren Brunak - J. MOL. BIOL. , 2004
"... We describe improvements of the currently most popular method for prediction of classically secreted proteins, SignalP. SignalP consists of two different predictors based on neural network and hidden Markov model algorithms, where both components have been updated. Motivated by the idea that the cle ..."

A review of image denoising algorithms, with a new one

by A. Buades, B. Coll, J. M. Morel - SIMUL , 2005
"... The search for efficient image denoising methods is still a valid challenge at the crossing of functional analysis and statistics. In spite of the sophistication of the recently proposed methods, most algorithms have not yet attained a desirable level of applicability. All show an outstanding perf ..."

and, second, to propose a nonlocal means (NL-means) algorithm addressing the preservation of structure in a digital image. The mathematical analysis is based on the analysis of the “method noise, ” defined as the difference between a digital image and its denoised version. The NL-means algorithm

Learning Stochastic Logic Programs

by Stephen Muggleton , 2000
"... Stochastic Logic Programs (SLPs) have been shown to be a generalisation of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), stochastic context-free grammars, and directed Bayes' nets. A stochastic logic program consists of a set of labelled clauses p:C where p is in the interval [0,1] and C is a first-order r ..."

Consensus in the presence of partial synchrony

by Cynthia Dwork, Nancy Lynch, Larry Stockmeyer - JOURNAL OF THE ACM , 1988
"... The concept of partial synchrony in a distributed system is introduced. Partial synchrony lies between the cases of a synchronous system and an asynchronous system. In a synchronous system, there is a known fixed upper bound A on the time required for a message to be sent from one processor to ano ..."

to another and a known fixed upper bound (I, on the relative speeds of different processors. In an asynchronous system no fixed upper bounds A and (I, exist. In one version of partial synchrony, fixed bounds A and (I, exist, but they are not known a priori. The problem is to design protocols that work

Applications Of Circumscription To Formalizing Common Sense Knowledge

by John McCarthy - Artificial Intelligence , 1986

We present a new and more symmetric version of the circumscription method of nonmonotonic reasoning first described in (McCarthy 1980) and some applications to formalizing common sense knowledge. The applications in this paper are mostly based on minimizing the abnormality of different aspects o ..."
