We present a formal analysis of the database layout problem, i.e., the problem of determining how database objects such as tables and indexes are assigned to disk drives. Optimizin...
Abstract. In this paper, we consider whether traditional index structures are effective in processing unstable nearest neighbors workloads. It is known that under broad conditions...
We provide precise high-level models for eight fundamental service interaction patterns, together with schemes for their composition into complex service-based business process int...
We address the problem of selecting sensors so as to minimize the error in estimating the position of a target. We consider a generic sensor model where the measurements can be in...
Most congestion control algorithms try to emulate processor sharing (PS) by giving each competing flow an equal share of a bottleneck link. This approach leads to fairness, and pr...
