The amount of data collected and stored in databases is growing considerably for almost all areas of human activity. Processing this amount of data is very expensive, both humanly...
Visualisation systems consisting of a set of components through which data and interaction commands flow have been explored by a number of researchers. Such hybrid and multistage ...
More than two decades ago, DB researchers faced up to the question of how to design a data-independent database management system (DBMS), that is, a DBMS which offers an appropriat...
Large message latencies often lead to poor performance of parallel applications. In this paper, we investigate a latency-tolerating technique that immediately releases all blocking...
Today, finite element technologies allow engineers to analyze complex assemblies and subsystems. With CPU power constantly increasing, it is not unreasonable to state that the eng...
