The paper studies the problem of maintaining external dynamic dictionaries with variable length keys. We introduce a new type of balanced trees, called S(b)-trees, which generaliz...
Being able to efficiently answer arbitrary OLAP queries that aggregate along any combination of dimensions over numerical and categorical attributes has been a continued, major co...
Scalability of parallel architectures is an interesting area of current research. Shared memory parallel programming is attractive stemming from its relative ease in transitioning...
