Evaluating Answer Qualityyeeciency Tradeoos

چکیده
For many emerging applications and environments, information systems designers and implementers must consider the tradeo s between e ciency and the quality of query answers. This exibility, while allowing numerous opportunities for optimization, complicates the development of various system components and their performance evaluation. In this short paper, we rst outline the issues that arise in evaluating answer quality/e ciency tradeo s. We then describe how we address these issues in two ongoing projects that adopt notions of answer quality from the eld of Information Retrieval.

متن کاملGenerating Tradeoos for Interactive Constraint-based Connguration
In this paper we have modeled tradeoos in constraint-based connguration as additional constraints, and begun to study the issues involved in generating and evaluating such tradeoos. We describe our basic approach in the context of a \toy" connguration problem based on the classic N-Queens problem. Initial experiments compare \proposal strategies" for generating tradeoos. We demonstrate that arc...
متن کاملModeling and Generating Tradeoos for Constraint-based Connguration
During an interactive connguration session we may reach a point where our desires can not be met. At this point we can consider \tradeoos". Ideally, we would like the conngurator to suggest appropriate tradeoos to us. In this paper we have modeled tradeoos in constraint-based connguration as additional constraints, and begun to study the issues involved in generating and evaluating such tradeoo...
متن کاملDesigning Eecient Fault Tolerant Vod Storage Servers: Techniques, Analysis, and Comparison
Recent technological advances in digital signal processing, data compression techniques, and high speed computer networking have made Video-on-Demand (VOD) servers feasible. A challenging task in such systems is servicing multiple clients simultaneously while satisfying real-time requirements of continuous delivery of objects at speciied bandwidths. To accomplish these tasks and realize economi...
متن کاملBuffer-Safe and Cost-Driven Communication Optimization
This paper presents a new approach for optimizing communication of data parallel programs. Our techniques are based on unidirectional bit-vector data ow analyses that enable vectorizing, coalescing and aggregating communication, and overlapping communication with computation both within and across loop nests. Previous techniques are based on xed communication optimization strategies whose quali...
