We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...
The assessment of chemical similarity between molecules is a basic operation in chemoinformatics, a computational area concerning with the manipulation of chemical structural info...
Newsgroup participants interact with their communities through conversation threads. They may respond to a message to answer a question, debate a topic, support or disagree with a...
We present an efficient algorithm for exact calculation and minimization of expected waiting times of all passengers using a bank of elevators. The dynamics of the system are rep...
— To cope with bursty arrivals of high-volume data, a DSMS has to shed load while minimizing the degradation of Quality of Service (QoS). In this paper, we show that this problem...
