Scheduling query execution plans is an important component of query optimization in parallel database systems. The problem is particularly complex in a shared-nothing execution en...
Resource leveling is a variant of resource-constrained project scheduling in which a non-regular objective function, the resource availability cost, is to be minimized. We present ...
We present a fine grain quality control method for multimedia applications. The method takes as input an application software composed of actions. The execution times of actions a...

Loop nest optimization is a combinatorial problem. Due to the growing complexity of modern architectures, it involves two increasingly difficult tasks: (1) analyzing the profita...
Traditional timing-driven placement considers only combinational delays and does not take into account the potential of subsequent sequential optimization steps. As a result, the ...
