Modern CPUs have instructions that allow basic operations to be performed on several data elements in parallel. These instructions are called SIMD instructions, since they apply a...
Keyword search is considered to be an effective information discovery method for both structured and semistructured data. In XML keyword search, query semantics is based on the con...
We present a memory-aware load balancing (MALB) technique to dispatch transactions to replicas in a replicated database. Our MALB algorithm exploits knowledge of the working sets ...

We introduce a new model for semantic annotation and retrieval from image databases. The new model is based on a probabilistic formulation that poses annotation and retrieval as c...
Abstract We compare the performance of two database selection algorithms reported in the literature. Their performance is compared using a common testbed designed specifically for ...
