In this paper, we propose a buffer cache algorithm to build a cost effective storage server for real time news objects. In a News On Demand Server, the number of concurrent stream...
In a distributed system, replication of components, such as objects, is a well known way of achieving availability. For increased availability, crashed and disconnected components...
Data-warehousing applications cope with enormous data sets in the range of Gigabytes and Terabytes. Queries usually either select a very small set of this data or perform aggregat...
Abstract. Source code transformations are a very effective method of parallelizing and improving the efficiency of programs. Unfortunately most compiler systems require implementin...
We investigate the properties of a metric between two distributions, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), for content-based image retrieval. The EMD is based on the minimal cost ...
