A way to optimize performance of relational row store databases is to reduce the row widths by vertically partitioning tables into table fractions in order to minimize the number ...
As the scale and scope of distributed and multi-agent systems grow, it becomes increasingly important to design and manage the participants' interactions. The potential for b...
The execution performance of an information gathering plan can suffer significantly due to remote I/O latencies. A streaming dataflow model of execution addresses the problem to s...
The basic motivation behind this work is to tie together various computational complexity classes, whether over different domains such as the naturals or the reals, or whether def...
Background: Protein-protein interactions are fundamental for the majority of cellular processes and their study is of enormous biotechnological and therapeutic interest. In recent...
