In this paper we explore the use of parsimonious language models for web retrieval. These models are smaller thus more efficient than the standard language models and are therefor...
This paper presents a fast and accurate solution, namely Fashion, to routability-driven global routing problem. Fashion is based on two efficient yet effective techniques: 1) dynam...
— We describe the development and testing of a metaheuristic procedure, based on the scatter search methodology, for the problem of approximating the efficient frontier of nonlin...
Bitmap-based collaborative graphics editing systems are a special class of real-time collaborative editing systems. Undo is an important and difficult problem in these systems. Ex...
In this paper, we explore the possibility of transforming queries with minimum and maximum predicates into equivalent queries that can be computed more efficiently. The main contr...
