You knew it was on its way and here it is the first trailer for Guitar Hero 4 A.K.A. (Guitar Hero: World Tour) so set back check it out. Van Halen, Linkin Park, The Eagles and Sublime are all confirmed
We consider the problem of estimating the support of a vector $\beta^* \in\mathbb{R}^{p}$ based on observations contaminated by noise. A significant bodyof work has studied behavior of $\ell_1$-relaxations when applied tomeasurement matrices drawn from standard dense ensembles (e.g., Gaussian,Bernoulli). In
Bitmap indexes are frequently used to index multidimensional data. They relymostly on sequential input/output. Bitmaps can be compressed to reduceinput/output costs and minimize CPU usage. The most efficient compressiontechniques are based on run-length encoding (RLE), such as Word-Aligned Hybrid(WAH) compression.
When the World Wide Web was first conceived as a way to facilitate thesharing of scientific information at the CERN (European Center for NuclearResearch) few could have imagined the role it would come to play in thefollowing decades. Since then,
The paper introduces a new technique for compressing Binary Decision Diagramsin those cases where random access is not required. Using this technique,compression and decompression can be done in linear time in the size of the BDDand compression will in many
Systems of systems (SoS) are a hot topic in our "fully connected globalworld". Our aim is not to provide another definition of what SoS are, butrather to focus on the adequacy of reusing standard system architectingtechniques within this approach in
Multi-hop relay channels use multiple relay stages, each with multiple relaynodes, to facilitate communication between a source and destination.Previously, distributed space-time coding was used to maximize diversity gain.Assuming a low-rate feedback link from the destination to each relay stage andthe
Viral marketing takes advantage of preexisting social networks amongcustomers to achieve large changes in behavior. Models of influence spread havebeen studied in a number of domains, including the effect of 'word of mouth' inthe promotion of new products or the
As systems become ever more complex, verification becomes more main stream.Event-B and Alloy are two formal specification languages based on fairlydifferent methodologies. While Event-B uses theorem provers to prove thatinvariants hold for a given specification, Alloy uses a SAT-based model
We investigate the applicability of divisible residuated lattices (DRLs) as ageneral evaluation framework for soft constraint satisfaction problems (softCSPs). DRLs are in fact natural candidates for this role, since they form thealgebraic semantics of a large family of substructural and
We investigate the global scheduling of sporadic, implicit deadline,real-time task systems on multiprocessor platforms. We provide a task modelwhich integrates job parallelism. We prove that the time-complexity of thefeasibility problem of these systems is linear relatively to the number of(sporadic)
