Estimating the cardinality (i.e. number of distinct elements) of an arbitrary set expression defined over multiple distributed streams is one of the most fundamental queries of in...
In this paper, we propose a simple and fully distributed mechanism for constructing and maintaining the overlay topology in mesh-based P2P-TV systems. Our algorithm optimizes the ...

To bridge the increasing processor-disk performance gap, buffer caches are used in both storage clients (e.g. database systems) and storage servers to reduce the number of slow di...

Transformations using retiming and resynthesis operations are the most important and practical (if not the only) techniques used in optimizing synchronous hardware systems. Althoug...
