Scheduling query execution plans is an important component of query optimization in parallel database systems. The problem is particularly complex in a shared-nothing execution en...
The Covariance-Matrix-Adaptation Evolution-Strategy (CMA-ES) is a robust stochastic search algorithm for optimizing functions defined on a continuous search space RD . Recently, ...
The tridimensional structure of a protein is constrained or stabilized by some local interactions between distant residues of the protein, such as disulfide bonds, electrostatic i...
Content-based publish/subscribe systems allow matching the content of events with predicates in the subscriptions. However, most existing systems only allow a limited set of opera...
—We prove new lower bounds in the area of property testing of boolean functions. Specifically, we study the problem of testing whether a boolean function f is isomorphic to a ...
