Efficient data retrieval from databases is a significant issue of the design of persistent systems. We propose an aspect oriented persistent system named AspectualStore. Aspectual...
We describe a novel hardware architecture for genomic and proteomic sequence alignment which achieves a speed-up of two to three orders of magnitude over Smith-Waterman dynamic pr...
This paper considers online stochastic reservation problems, where requests come online and must be dynamically allocated to limited resources in order to maximize profit. Multi-k...

The requirements on production systems and their planning and control systems are constantly growing. Systems have to be flexible and provide viable solutions at the same time. Di...

Distributed allocation mechanisms rely on the agents' autonomous (and supposedly rational) behaviour: states evolve as a result of agents contracting deals and exchanging res...
