Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...
This paper proposes a cache hierarchy that enables Web search engines to efficiently process user queries. The different caches in the hierarchy are used to store pieces of data w...
This paper focuses on an approach to modeling shapes through the use of evolutionary optimization or genetic algorithms for functionally represented geometric objects. This repres...
Designers of concurrent and distributed algorithms usually express them using pseudo-code. In contrast, most verification techniques are based on more mathematically-oriented forma...
Large–scale parallel applications performing global synchronization may spend a significant amount of execution time waiting for the completion of a barrier operation. Conseque...
