We study the online version of the classical parallel machine scheduling problem to minimize the total weighted completion time from the perspective of algorithmic mechanism desig...
Sensor networks are unattended deeply distributed systems whose schema can be conceptualized using the relational model. Aggregation queries on the data sampled at each ode are th...
In this paper we provide a fast, data-driven solution to the failing query problem: given a query that returns an empty answer, how can one relax the query's constraints so t...
MapReduce is a computing paradigm that has gained a lot of popularity as it allows non-expert users to easily run complex analytical tasks at very large-scale. At such scale, task...
coarse procedures or very abstract frames from the point of view of algorithm, because some crucial issues like the representation, evolution, storage, and learning process of conc...
