Inference of phylogenetic trees using the maximum likelihood (ML) method is NP-hard. Furthermore, the computation of the likelihood function for huge trees of more than 1,000 orga...
MapReduce has been widely used for large-scale data analysis in the Cloud. The system is well recognized for its elastic scalability and fine-grained fault tolerance although its...
We study the boundary measures of compact subsets of the d-dimensional Euclidean space, which are closely related to Federer’s curvature measures. We show that they can be comput...
In this paper, we discuss some of the lessons that we have learned working with the Hadoop and Sector/Sphere systems. Both of these systems are cloud-based systems designed to sup...
We consider from a computational perspective the problem of how to aggregate the ranking preferences of a number of alternatives by a number of different voters into a single cons...
