Given a planar polygonal subdivision S, the point location problem is to preprocess S into a data structure so that the cell of the subdivision that contains a given query point c...
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
We present a new scheduling algorithm, which is a synthesis of all the remarkable features of pretransmission coordination-based protocols for broadcast and select star networks. ...
