Background: Expressed sequence tag (EST) collections are composed of a high number of single-pass, redundant, partial sequences, which need to be processed, clustered, and annotat...
Because changes to the database (DB) and workload occur during a DB system's lifetime, the physical DB design must evolve to sustain good performance. These changes are carri...
Based on the renowned method of Bitton et al. (see [1]) we develop a concise but comprehensive analytical model for the well-known Binary Merge Sort, Bitonic Sort, Nested-Loop Join...
The clustering algorithm DBSCAN relies on a density-based notion of clusters and is designed to discover clusters of arbitrary shape as well as to distinguish noise. In this paper,...
