Performance simulation tools must be validated during the design process as functional models and early hardware are developed, so that designers can be sure of the performance of...
The use of inaccurate or outdated database statistics by the query optimizer in a relational DBMS often results in a poor choice of query execution plans and hence unacceptably lo...

This paper presents a new method to compute constructive solid geometry (CSG) tree representations of an object whose faces consist of planar and non-planar surfaces. The algorith...
Background: Docking algorithms are developed to predict in which orientation two proteins are likely to bind under natural conditions. The currently used methods usually consist o...
We propose a new way to raise the level of discourse in the programming process: permit ambiguity, but manage it by linking it to unambiguous examples. This allows programming env...
