Abstract. The development of network-aware applications, i.e. applications that dynamically adapt to network conditions, has had some success in the domain of multimedia applicatio...
The fast messy genetic algorithm (fmGA) belongs to a class of algorithms inspired by the principles of evolution, known appropriately as "evolutionary algorithms" (EAs)....

Current object-oriented development practice is centered around application frameworks. In this paper, we argue that this approach is misleading, as it distracts from the ultimate...
Practical clustering algorithms require multiple data scans to achieve convergence. For large databases, these scans become prohibitively expensive. We present a scalable clusteri...
In a recent paper, we proposed adding a STOP AFTER clause to SQL to permit the cardinality of a query result to be explicitly limited by query writers and query tools. We demonstr...
