Abstract—In this paper, we present the implementation issues of a virtual backbone that supports the operations of the Uniform Quorum System (UQS) and the Randomized Database Gro...
We present an efficient prototype for music information retrieval. The prototype uses bitparallel algorithms for locating transposition invariant matches of monophonic query melod...
Data consistency is very desirable because strong semantic properties make it easier to write correct programs that perform as users expect. However, there are good reasons why co...
