Abstract. We describe work aimed at cost-constrained knowledge discovery in the biomedical domain. To improve the diagnostic/prognostic models of cancer, new biomarkers are studied...
A “plan diagram” is a pictorial enumeration of the execution plan choices of a database query optimizer over the relational selectivity space. In this paper, we present and an...
The emergence of grid and a new class of data-driven applications is making a new form of parallelism desirable, which we refer to as coarse-grained pipelined parallelism. This pa...
Incomplete decision algorithms can often solve larger problem instances than complete ones. The drawback is that one does not know whether the algorithm will finish soon, later, ...
The goal of this research is to develop performance profiles of parallel and distributed applications in order to predict their execution time under different network conditions....
