Recent advances in high-performance computing have pushed computational capabilities to a petaflop (a thousand trillion operations per second) in a single computing cluster. This ...
To compensate for the inherent impedance mismatch between the relational data model (tables of tuples) and XML (ordered, unranked trees), tree join algorithms have become the prev...
Estimating the number of distinct elements in a large multiset has several applications, and hence has attracted active research in the past two decades. Several sampling and sket...
We present the basic concepts of experimental design, the types of goals it can address, and why it is such an important and useful tool for simulation. A well-designed experiment...
