Multiuser diversity (MUDiv) is one of the central concepts in multiuser (MU) systems. In particular, MUDiv allows for scheduling among users in order to eliminate the negative effe...
As peer-to-peer (P2P) networks become more familiar to the database community, intense interest has built up in using their scalability and resilience properties to scale database...
We define some interesting incentive issues that arise in the management of virtual infrastructures. We demonstrate that participants’ decisions about the quantities of infrast...
Abstract. In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorit...
In off-line handwriting recognition, classifiers based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) have become very popular. However, while there exist well-established training algorithms, s...
