Due to the strong increase of processing units available to the end user, expressing parallelism of an algorithm is a major challenge for many researchers. Parallel applications ar...
Disk I/O is a major bottleneck for query processing in database applications. This bottleneck is especially a problem for temporal databases because of their large size. Reduction...
Efficient data storage, a major concern in the modern computer industry, is mostly provided today by the the traditional magnetic disk. Unfortunately the cost of a disk transfer m...
Given that commercial search engines cover billions of web pages, efficiently managing the corresponding volumes of disk-resident data needed to answer user queries quickly is a f...
We consider a wireless sensor network in which sensors are grouped into clusters, each with its own cluster head (CH). Each CH collects data from sensors in its cluster and relays...
