Price dispersion, the variance in price for identical products across retailers, is a persistent feature of Internetbased markets, even those mediated by shopping agents (shopbots...
A number of biological applications require comparison of large genome strings. Current techniques suffer from both disk I/O and computational cost because of extensive memory req...
We develop a normative theory of interaction-negotiation in particular--among self-interested computationally limited agents where computational actions are game-theoretically tre...
Declustering and replication are well known techniques used to improve response time of queries in parallel disk environments. As data replication incurs a penalty for updates, da...
Web-based study resources can be viewed as a basic requirement in order to remain a competitive player on a more and more globalised educational market. For that reason it is gett...
