With the availability of large datasets in a variety of scientific and commercial domains, data mining has emerged as an important area within the last decade. Data mining techni...
Nested-parallelism programming models, where the task graph associated to a computation is series-parallel, present good analysis properties that can be exploited for scheduling, c...
The integration of database and programming languages is made difficult by the different data models and type systems prevalent in each field. Functional-object query languages con...
Object-based parallel and distributed applications are becoming increasingly popular, driven by the programmability advantages of component technology and a flat shared-object spa...
The importance of middleware and content adaptation has previously been demonstrated for pervasive use of Web-based applications. In this paper we propose a modular, extensible, a...
