We introduce transactors, a fault-tolerant programming model for composing loosely-coupled distributed components running in an unreliable environment such as the internet into sy...
Ensuring the correctness of multithreaded programs is difficult, due to the potential for unexpected interactions between concurrent threads. Much previous work has focused on det...
Association, or LD (linkage disequilibrium), mapping is an intensely-studied approach to gene mapping (genome-wide or in candidate regions) that is widely hoped to be able to effic...
contexts such as construction of abstractions, speed may be favored over completeness, so that undecidable theories (e.g., nonlinear integer arithmetic) and those whose decision pr...
SQL tuning--the attempt to improve a poorly-performing execution plan produced by the database query optimizer-is a critical aspect of database performance tuning. Ironically, as ...
