Vapnik-Chervonenkis Theory was developed between 1960 and 1990 by Vladimir Naumovich Vapnik and Alexey Yakovlevich Chervonenkis. It is considered to be an important part of the computational learning theory, which attempts to analyze the method of learning through the point of statistical learning. It is also called ‘fundamental theory of learning’. This theory is related to empirical process and statistical learning theory which would come under machine learning. As mentioned in the book, ...

The foundations of probability theory go back to the sixteenth century, when Gerolamo Cardano began a formal analysis of games of chance, followed by additional key developments by Pierre de Fermat and Blaise Pascal in the seventeenth century. The initial development involved only discrete probability spaces, and the analysis methods were purely combinatorial. The foundations of modern probability theory, with its measure-theoretic underpinnings, were laid by Andrey Kolmogorov in the 1930s. ...

In this section, we review the related researchs to our work. Ananta is a distributed layer-4 load balancer and NAT specifically designed to meet the scale, reliability, tenant isolation and operational requirements of multi-tenant cloud environments. The Windows Azure public cloud heavily influenced its design. While Ananta is a good engineering effort, it does not follow open source standards and is not easily usable for other people. DUET is a new distributed hybrid load balancer ...

Sequence is a rundown of a set of numbers in a particular arrangement. It contains values, similar to that of a set. Be that as it may, a sequence can also contain the same values at some dissimilar areas. Hence, a pattern is an important component of sequences. Many sequences are already existing, the likes of Lucas, Fibonacci, arithmetic, geometric, square. There are some sequences that have a known formula in finding the nth term such as: arithmetic, geometric, harmonic and Fibonacci. An ...
