We describe SCC-kS, a Speculative Concurrency Control (SCC) algorithm that allows a DBMS to use efficiently the extra computing resources available in the system to increase the l...
Providing a thorough mathematical foundation, multiresolution modeling is the standard approach for global surface deformations that preserve fine surface details in an intuitive ...
An emerging paradigm in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is to explicitly consider incentives as part of the protocol design in order to promote good (or discourage bad) behavior. Howe...

We present a novel loop transformation technique, particularly well suited for optimizing embedded compilers, where an increase in compilation time is acceptable in exchange for s...
Given the increasing dependence of our societies on networked information systems, the overall security of these systems should be measured and improved. Existing security metrics...
