As processors continue to exploit more instruction level parallelism, a greater demand is placed on reducing the e ects of memory access latency. In this paper, we introduce a nov...
Traditionally, application specific computations have been focusing on numerically intensive data manipulation. Modern communications and DSP applications, such as WWW, interactiv...
Semantic models have shown the utility of arbitrary user-de ned relationships for de ning the semantics of database information, while objectoriented models have developed a stron...
In the mobile wireless computing environment of the future, a large number of users, equipped with low-powered palmtop machines, will query databases over wireless communication ch...
In some retrieval situations, a system must search across multiple collections. This task, referred to as federated search, occurs for example when searching a distributed index o...
