Growth in the complexity of computing systems, in the dynamism of the environments they operate in, and the need for timely adaptations as conditions change, now pose significant...
Schema matching is the task of matching between concepts describing the meaning of data in various heterogeneous, distributed data sources. With many heuristics to choose from, sev...
We consider the following problem in a stream model: Given a sequence a = a1, a2, . . . , am wich each ai ∈ [n] = {1, . . . , n} and m > n, find a duplicate in the sequence, ...
Software components realising the graphical user interface (GUI) of a highly interactive system or the user interface of a Web application form an essential part of the entire impl...
This paper introduces a new optimization technique called hyperplane annealing. It is similar to the mean field annealing approach to combinatorial optimization. Both annealing te...
