In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directiona...
Many real-time systems need to maintain fresh views which are derived from shared data that are distributed among multiple sites. When a base data item changes, all derived views ...
We study the novel problem of efficiently computing the update distance for a pair of relational databases. In analogy to the edit distance of strings, we define the update distan...
Abstract. Researchers have focused on assessing the quality of search algorithms by measuring effort, number of mistakes, runtime distributions and other characteristics. In this p...
Abstract. In this paper we discuss Evolution Strategies within the context of interactive optimization. Different modes of interaction will be classified and compared. A focus will...
