Data integration is a significant challenge: relevant data objects are split across multiple information sources, and often owned by different organizations. The sources represent...
The M-tree is a paged, dynamically balanced metric access method that responds gracefully to the insertion of new objects. Like many spatial access methods, the M-tree's perfo...
An abundance of biological data sources contain data on classes of scientific entities, such as genes and sequences. Logical relationships between scientific objects are implemen...
-In this paper a nonlinear programming approach is used for the minimization of total communication cost to determine the optimum room dimensions for each room. The nonlinear progr...
