Several advanced applications, such as those dealing with the Web, need to handle data whose structure is not known a-priori. Such requirement severely limits the applicability of ...
Global Computing achieves high throughput computing by harvesting a very large number of unused computing resources connected to the Internet. This parallel computing model target...
Many operating systems allow user programs to specify the protectionlevel (inaccessible, read-only, read-write) of pages in their virtual memory address space, and to handle any p...
Abstract— We describe a grid-based approach for enterprisescale data mining that leverages database technology for I/O parallelism, and on-demand compute servers for compute para...
A low-distortion embedding between two metric spaces is a mapping which preserves the distances between each pair of points, up to a small factor called distortion. Low-distortion...
