Efficient determination of processing termination at barrier synchronization points can occupy an important role in the overall throughput of parallel and distributed computing sy...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) share a common weakness with most other metaheuristics: Candidate solutions are in general revisited multiple times, lowering diversity and wasting preciou...
Abstract. At FC'05, Chen et al. introduced an elegant privacy protecting coupon (PPC) system, CESSS05 [13], in which users can purchase multi-coupons and redeem them unlinkabl...
We describe two novel constructs for programming parallel machines with multi-level memory hierarchies: call-up, which allows a child task to invoke computation on its parent, and...

We revisit the classical chase procedure, studying its properties as well as its applicability to standard database problems. We settle (in the negative) the open problem of decid...
