Chimpp: A Click-based Programming and Simulation Environment for Reconfigurable Networking Hardware

HPL-2010-25 Chimpp: A Click-based Programming and Simulation Environment for Reconfigurable Networking Hardware - Rubow, Erik; McGeer, Rick; Mogul, Jeffrey C.; Vahdat, Amin
Keyword(s): FPGAs, modular programming, Click
Abstract: Reconfigurable network hardware makes it easier to experiment with and prototype high-speed networking systems. However, these devices are still relatively hard to program; for example, the NetFPGA requires users to develop in Verilog. Further, these devices are commonly designed to work with softwa ...

Estimation of chain-dependent survival distributions from censored observations

HPL-2010-31 Estimation of chain-dependent survival distributions from censored observations - Dyer, Justin S.; Tang, Hsin-Khuern
Keyword(s): no keywords
Abstract: We present a survival model for data with multiple recurrent events of several interrelated types, such as might arise from customer transactions on a website. The model is based on a semi-Markov chain that drives several renewal processes. We develop a computationally tractable expectation-maximiza ...

On The Expressive Power of Service Models for Automated Service Composition

HPL-2010-33 On The Expressive Power of Service Models for Automated Service Composition - Wang, Yin; Motahari-Nezhad, Hamid; Singhal, Sharad
Keyword(s): No keywords available.
Abstract: Automatic service composition is an important problem in service oriented computing. Existing service models, whether embodied in specification standards or implicit in composition methods, offer tradeoffs between the level of detail at which component services are described and resulting opportunit ...

A Novel Traffic Analysis for Identifying Search Fields in the Long Tail of Web Sites

HPL-2010-27 A Novel Traffic Analysis for Identifying Search Fields in the Long Tail of Web Sites - Forman, George; Kirshenbaum, Evan; Rajaram, Shyamsundar
Keyword(s): web data mining, clickstream analysis, machine learning classification, active learning
Abstract: Using a clickstream sample of 2 billion URLs from many thousand volunteer Web users, we wish to analyze typical usage of keyword searches across the Web. In order to do this, we need to be able to determine whether a given URL represents a keyword search and, if so, which field contains the query. A ...
