The users of libraries of object-oriented software components face with both a terminological and a cognitive gap. Usually, library users do not understand the vocabulary used in t...
Current object-oriented development practice is centered around application frameworks. In this paper, we argue that this approach is misleading, as it distracts from the ultimate...
Practical clustering algorithms require multiple data scans to achieve convergence. For large databases, these scans become prohibitively expensive. We present a scalable clusteri...
Accessing data from numerous widely-distributed sources poses signi cant new challenges for query optimization and execution. Congestion and failures in the network can introduce ...
