Abstract. In this paper we study the metric spaces that are definable in a polynomially bounded ominimal structure. We prove that the family of metric spaces definable in a given p...
Process modeling languages such as "Dynamical Grammars" are highly expressive in the processes they model using stochastic and deterministic dynamical systems, and can b...
Interfaces as defined in the JAVA programming language can enhance both decoupling and comprehensibility of large code bases. Several researchers have pointed out this key role of...
Abstract. We propose a scaleable multi-user benchmark called XMach-1 (XML Data Management benchmark) for evaluating the performance of XML data management systems. It is based on a...
Framework-intensive applications (e.g., Web applications) heavily use temporary data structures, often resulting in performance bottlenecks. This paper presents an optimized blend...
