Title:                 Web Resource Monitoring and Data Delivery Under a
Politeness Constraint

 

Speaker:           Avigdor Gal, senior lecturer, faculty of Industrial
Engineering & Management, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology;

                        visiting assistant professor, University of
Maryland

 

Time:                11 a.m.

 

Date:                Monday, Sept. 18, 2006

 

Location:           Calit2 Building, Room 3008

 

Abstract:           The talk will focus on efficient scheduling
algorithms for monitoring an information source. In a given time period
of length 'T,' we enforce a server-side politeness constraint that we
may only probe the source a maximum of 'n' times. This constraint, along
with an optional constraint that no two probes may be spaced less than
delta time units apart, is intended to prevent the monitor from being
classified as a nuisance to be "locked out" of the information source.
This is a joint work with Jonathan Eckstein and Sarit Reiner and is
based on a paper that was recently accepted for publication at the
INFORMS Journal of Computing.

 

Bio:                  Avigdor Gal is a faculty member of the industrial
engineering and management faculty at the Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology. He received his D.Sc. degree from the Technion in 1995 in
the area of temporal active databases. During his studies, Avigdor has
received the Miriam and Aaron Gutwirth Scholarship three years in a row
(1993-1995). He has published more than 50 papers in journals (e.g.
Journal of the ACM, ACM Transactions on Database Systems, IEEE
Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, and the VLDB Journal),
books (Temporal Databases: Research and Practice) and conferences on the
topics of data integration, temporal databases, information systems
architectures and active databases.

Gal is a steering committee member of IFCIS, a member of IFIP WG 2.6,
and a recipient of the IBM Faculty Award for 2002-2004. He is a member
of the ACM and the IEEE computer society.
