The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different site...
In this paper, we study strategies in incremental planning for ordering and grouping subproblems partitioned by the subgoals of a planning problem when each subproblem is solved b...
We present an efficient and robust algorithm for finding points of collision between time-dependent parametric and implicit surfaces. The algorithm detects simultaneous collisio...

— We address the problem of connection preemption in a multi-class network environment. Our objective is: i) to minimize the number of preempted connections, and ii) to minimize ...
