The traditional focus of relational query optimization schemes has been on the choice of join methods and join orders. Restrictions have typically been handled in query optimizers ...
We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...
Data intensive applications today usually run in either a clientserver or a middleware environment. In either case, they must efficiently handle both database queries, which proc...
Almost all fundamental advances in science and engineering crucially depend on the availability of extremely capable high performance computing (HPC) systems. Future HPC systems w...
The paper deals with a structural optimization of composite materials with periodic microstructures invoking an elasto-plasticity model with the von Mises yield criterion. Closest...
