Abstract. This paper focuses on an important aspect of cardiac surgical simulation, which is the deformation of mesh models to form smooth joins between them. A novel algorithm bas...
Ranking queries produce results that are ordered on some computed score. Typically, these queries involve joins, where users are usually interested only in the top-k join results....
Twig pattern matching (TPM) is the core operation of XML query processing. Existing approaches rely on either efficient data structures or novel labeling/indexing schemes to reduce...
We present a new technique, early phase termination, for eliminating idle processors in parallel computations that use barrier synchronization. This technique simply terminates ea...
We show that any expression of the relational division operator in the relational algebra with union, difference, projection, selection, constant-tagging, and joins, must produce ...
