Understanding and managing monetary cost factors is crucial when developing cloud applications. However, the diverse range of factors influencing costs for computation, storage, and networking in cloud applications poses a challenge for developers ...

Embedding learning is an important technique in deep recommendation models to map categorical features to dense vectors. However, the embedding tables often demand an extremely large number of parameters, which become the storage and efficiency ...

Technology-assisted review (TAR) refers to human-in-the-loop machine learning workflows for document review in legal discovery and other high recall review tasks. Attorneys and legal technologists have debated whether review should be a single iterative ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings. However, the latency brought by unstable wireless networks and computation failures caused by limited resources on IoT devices prevents users from ...

Contactless three-dimensional (3-D) interconnects have been proposed as an alternative to through-silicon via (TSV) due to its manufacturing compatibility with two-dimensional (2-D) processes. Typically, contactless 3-D circuits are thought to require ...

Lightweight integer compression algorithms are frequently applied in in-memory database systems to tackle the growing gap between processor speed and main memory bandwidth. In recent years, the vectorization of basic techniques such as delta coding and ...

As software evolves, problematic changes can significantly degrade software performance, i.e., introducing performance regression. Performance regression testing is an effective way to reveal such issues in early stages. Yet because of its high ...

Electronic systems in the automotive domain implement safety critical functionality in vehicles and the safety certification process according to a functional safety standard is time consuming and a big part of the expenses of a development project. We ...

Building operation and maintenance (O&M) costs are affected by design decisions made in early design phase. To assist developers and architects of condominium properties in effectively assessing the impacts of their design decisions made in early design ...

Cloud computing aims at allowing customers to utilize computational resources and software hosted by service providers. Thus, it shifts the complex and tedious resource and software management tasks typically done by customers to the service providers. ...

Through this paper we propose an effective methodology for the development of a comprehensive cost model for Inhouse Cabling in FTTH. The techno-economic modeling for Inhouse Cabling has been thoroughly investigated. A cost model is being developed and ...

This paper describes two tools that aim to support decision making during the migration of IT systems to the cloud. The first is a modeling tool that produces cost estimates of using public IaaS clouds. The tool enables IT architects to model their ...

The emerging three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) is beneficial for various applications from both area and performance perspectives. While the general trend in processor design has been shifting from multi-core to many-core, questions such as ...

We propose a model-based methodology to size and plan enterprise applications subject to Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Our approach is illustrated using a real-world Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application, namely SAP ERP. Firstly, we develop ...

Shared protection promises the benefits of lower network capacity utilization without sacrificing the availability level of dedicated protection. Shared protection is often evaluated in terms of its spare capacity efficiency, but seldom in terms of real-...

Today's need for more complex, capable systems in a short timeframe is leading many organizations towards the integration of existing systems into network-centric, knowledge-based system-of-systems (SoS). This presents new acquisition challenges in the ...

Strange to say, when building a software cost model, sometimes it's useful to ignore much of the available cost data. One way to do this is to perform data-pruning experiments after data collection and before model building. Experiments involving a set ...

Query optimizers in object-relational database management systems typically require users to provide the execution cost models of user-defined functions (UDFs). Despite this need, however, there has been little work done to provide such a model. The ...

Constructions cost estimating databases are utilized for definition of contract price and evaluation of construction progress and claims. They are known for standardized data format and procedures, involving pre-defined coding system, pointing to ready-...

In mobile wireless systems data on air can be accessed by a large number of mobile users. Many of these applications including wireless internets and traffic information systems are pull-based, that is, they respond to on-demand user requests. In this ...
