We examine the use of a hop-limit constraint with techniques to provide survivability for connection-oriented ATM group communications. A hop-limit constraint is an approach that ...
A link is an unreliable FIFO channel. As we mentioned earlier, it is an abstraction of a point-topoint wire or of a simple broadcast LAN. It is unreliable because noise or other ph...
Many emerging application domains require database systems to support efficient access over highly multidimensional datasets. The current state-of-the-art technique to indexing hi...
In this paper we show the power of sampling techniques in designing efficient distributed algorithms. In particular, we show that using sampling techniques, on some networks, sele...
The full integration of information retrieval (IR) features into a database management system (DBMS) has long been recognized as both a significant goal and a challenging undertak...
