In factory automation, production line scheduling entails a number of competing issues. Finding optimal configurations often requires use of local search techniques. Local search l...
Text is a pervasive information type, and many applications require querying over text sources in addition to structured data. This paper studies the problem of query processing i...
Abstract. We propose a simple, general, randomized technique to reduce certain geometric optimization problems to their corresponding decision problems. These reductions increase t...
This paper presents a novel technique to perform global optimization of communication and preprocessing calls in the presence of array accesses with arbitrary subscripts. Our sche...
