Path induction is a technique used to speed the process of making multiple exact evaluations of a sequential allocation procedure, where the options are discrete and their outcomes follow a discrete distribution. Multiple evaluations are needed for determining criteria such as maxima or minima over parameter regions (where the location of the extremal value is unknown in advance), for visualizi...

This article introduces an algorithm for implicit High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) of the Bellman equation. This approximation technique reduces memory demands of the algorithm considerably. Moreover, we show that HDMR enables fast approximate minimization which is essential for evaluation of the Bellman function. In each time step, the problem of parametrized HDMR minimization is r...

In the context of large homogeneous retrieval systems, metrics like precision and recall have been established to assess the effectiveness. Nevertheless, measuring Web search effectiveness is a new challenge regarding the heterogeneity of highly dynamic Web content. Currently, users select a Web search engine by their individual preferences and the evaluation of effectiveness is a subjective me...

The introduction of multicores has made analysis of shared resources, such as shared caches and shared DRAM bandwidth, an important topic to study. We present two simple, but accurate, cache sharing models that use high-level data that can easily be measured on existing systems. We evaluate our model using a simulated multicore processor with four cores and a shared L2 cache. Our evaluation sho...

this study proposes a combination of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (fsmc) with integral-proportion-derivative switching surface based superconducting magnetic energy storage (smes) and pid tuned by a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the load frequency control in power systems. the goal of design is to improve the dynamic response of power systems after load demand changes. in t...
