abstraction for modeling these problems is to view the Web as a collection of (usually small and heterogeneous) databases, and to view programs that extract and process Web data au...
To discover knowledge or retrieve information from a relational database, a user often needs to find objects related to certain source objects. There are two main challenges in b...
Complex arithmetic computations, especially if derived from bit-level software descriptions, can be very inefficient if implemented directly in hardware (e.g., by translation of t...
