Abstract. In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorit...
—Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a popular design paradigm for distributed systems today. Its dynamics and loose coupling are predestined for self-adaptive systems. This a...
This paper examines how methods inspired by biological processes can be applied to the design of large-scale environment-aware sensor networks. Our ultimate goal are systems conta...
In off-line handwriting recognition, classifiers based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) have become very popular. However, while there exist well-established training algorithms, s...
Iterative stencil loops (ISLs) are used in many applications and tiling is a well-known technique to localize their computation. When ISLs are tiled across a parallel architecture...
