We have developed a methodology for predicting the performance of parallel algorithms on real parallel machines. The methodology consists of two steps. First, we characterize a mac...
Whereas traditional databases manage only deterministic information, many applications that use databases involve uncertain data. This paper presents a Probabilistic Tree Data Bas...
We present a fine grain quality control method for multimedia applications. The method takes as input an application software composed of actions. The execution times of actions a...

In the numerical solution of ODEs, it is now possible to develop efficient techniques that will deliver approximate solutions that are piecewise polynomials. The resulting methods...
Search nodes are single-purpose components of large Web search engines and their efficient implementation is critical to sustain thousands of queries per second and guarantee indi...
