In this paper, a signature file method for indexing document database systems is presented. For this purpose, the concept of presentative word hierarchy is introduced, based on whi...
Recently distributed hash table (DHT) mechanisms have been proposed to manage data in very large, structured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. DHT algorithms provide efficient exact-mat...
Abstract. This paper presents a case study of how a Norwegian company introduced an ISO certified process. By identifying the company's strong and weak sides plus the expectat...
We study the worst case complexity of regular operations on cofinite languages (i.e., languages whose complement is finite) and provide algorithms to compute efficiently the result...
Load distribution is one of the main design issues that arise with respect to efficient resource management in distributed systems. Various load distribution techniques have been d...
