We study the problem of continuous monitoring of top-k queries over multiple non-synchronized streams. Assuming a sliding window model, this general problem has been a well addres...
Background: Although both conservation and correlated mutation (CM) are important information reflecting the different sorts of context in multiple sequence alignment, most of ali...
Delegation of authority is an important process that needs to be captured by any access control model. In role-based access control models, delegation of authority involves delega...
Similarity retrieval mechanisms should utilize generalized quadratic form distance functions as well as the Euclidean distance function since ellipsoid queries parameters may vary...
Resource allocation is a key problem in autonomic computing. In this paper we use a data center scenario to motivate the need for decentralization and cooperative negotiation, and...
