Over the last decades, improvements in CPU speed have outpaced improvements in main memory and disk access rates by orders of magnitude, enabling the use of data compression techn...
A parallel simulated annealing algorithm to solve the vehicle routing problem with time windows is presented. The objective is to find the best possible solutions to some wellkno...
We study XML stream-specific schema-based optimization. We assume a widely-adopted automata-based execution model for XQuery evaluation. Criteria are established regarding what s...
Trees and graphs are widely used to model biological databases. Providing efficient algorithms to support tree-based or graph-based querying is therefore an important issue. In th...
