Integrity constraints are valuable tools for enforcing consistency of data in a database. Global integrity constraints ensure integrity and consistency of data spanning multiple d...
Background: The Smith-Waterman algorithm for local sequence alignment is more sensitive than heuristic methods for database searching, but also more time-consuming. The fastest ap...
Our current concern is a scalable infrastructure for information retrieval (IR) with up-to-date retrieval results in the presence of frequent, continuous updates. Timely processin...
Partitioning is a key database task. In this paper we explore partitioning performance on a chip multiprocessor (CMP) that provides a relatively high degree of on-chip thread-leve...
We present a distributed index data structure and algorithms devised to support parallel query processing of multimedia content in search engines. We present a comparative study wi...
