We consider the problem of estimating CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for processing range and k-nearest neighbors queries over metric spaces. Unlike the specific case ...
Assume that a franchise plans to open k branches in a city, so that the average distance from each residential block to the closest branch is minimized. This is an instance of the ...
The availability of inexpensive “off the shelf” machines increases the likelihood that parallel programs run on heterogeneous clusters of machines. These programs are increasi...
