Scheduling query execution plans is an important component of query optimization in parallel database systems. The problem is particularly complex in a shared-nothing execution en...
Genetic Algorithms are heuristic search schemes based on a model of Darwinian evolution. Although not guaranteed to find the optimal solution, genetic algorithms have been shown t...

We propose a simple variant of kd-trees, called rank-based kd-trees, for sets of points in Rd . We show that a rank-based kd-tree, like an ordinary kd-tree, supports range search ...

Consider an n-vertex graph G = (V, E) of maximum degree ∆, and suppose that each vertex v ∈ V hosts a processor. The processors are allowed to communicate only with their neig...
The context of a search query often provides a search engine meaningful hints for answering the current query better. Previous studies on context-aware search were either focused ...
