We address the problem of optimizing the distribution of partially replicated databases over a computer network. Replication is used to increase data availability in the presence ...

Irregular applications, which rely on pointer-based data structures, are often difficult to parallelize. The inputdependent nature of their execution means that traditional paral...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are controllable discrete event systems with stochastic transitions. The payoff received by the controller can be evaluated in different ways, dep...
This paper presents the RAM Enhanced Disk Cache Project, REDCAP, a new cache of disk blocks which reduces the read I/O time by using a small portion of the main memory. The essent...
We introduce a novel mechanism for creating line drawings from three-dimensional models, which captures the dynamic nature of the drawing process. The approach takes into account ...
