The Multi-Agent Flood algorithm is an algorithm to control multiple autonomous agents to explore unknown terrain and to find p oints of interest in t he newly uncovered territory. It does so by using a mix of indirect and direct communication. The direct communication via radio signals allows for a faster exchange of data between the agents. This layered communication model allows for a robust data...
Recent studies have shown the benefits of using SMART attributes to predict disk failures in homogeneous populations of disks from the same make and model. We address here the case of data centers with more heterogeneous disk populations, such as the ones described in the BackBlaze datasets, and propose to build global disk failure predictors that would apply to disks of all makes and models. Our...
In this work, Skeleton Decomposition (SD) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) are compared and evaluated for reconstruction of data matrices whose columns come from a union of subspaces. Specifically, an original data matrix is reconstructed from noise-contaminated version of it. First, matrix reconstruction using SD iteratively is introduced and alternative methods for forming SD-based reconstruction...
