This can be a costly operation. When the data is arranged according to its three-dimensional coordinates, calculating the contour surfaces requires examining each data cell. Avoidi...
Abstract. Data storage systems are being called on to manage continuous media data types, such as digital audio and video. There is a demand by applications for \constrained-latenc...
The descriptive complexity of a problem is the complexity of describing the problem in some logical formalism. One of the few techniques for proving separation results in descripti...
Abstract. Haplotype inference from genotype data is a key computational problem in bioinformatics, since retrieving directly haplotype information from DNA samples is not feasible ...
Schema mapping composition is a fundamental operation in schema management and data exchange. The mapping composition problem has been extensively studied for a number of mapping ...
