We introduce a novel spatial join operator, the ring-constrained join (RCJ). Given two sets P and Q of spatial points, the result of RCJ consists of pairs p, q (where p P, q Q) ...
Data management functionality is not only needed in large-scale server systems, but also in embedded systems. Resource restrictions and heterogeneity of hardware, however, complic...
The earlier in the software process a fault is detected, the cheaper the cost of fixing the fault. Automated fault detection tools can provide developers with information througho...

Because the knowledge required for the construction of a complex software system is often widely distributed among its members, programmers routinely engage in collaboration with ...
Conducting controlled experiments about programming activities often requires the use of multiple tasks of similar difficulty. In previously reported work about a controlled exper...
