General purpose object-oriented programs typically aren’t embarrassingly parallel. For these applications, finding enough concurrency remains a challenge in program design. To ...
—Medial representations of shapes are useful due to their use of an object-centered coordinate system that directly captures intuitive notions of shape such as thickness, bending...
Many programs exploit shared-memory parallelism using multithreading. Threaded codes typically use locks to coordinate access to shared data. In many cases, contention for locks r...

In this paper, we present SnipSuggest, a system that provides onthe-go, context-aware assistance in the SQL composition process. SnipSuggest aims to help the increasing population...
Non-technical users are increasingly adding structures to their data. This gives rise to the need for database design. However, traditional database design is deliberate and heavy...
