We introduce a cost model for the M-tree access method [Ciaccia et al., 1997] which provides estimates of CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for the execution of similarity ...
We introduce pseudo-naive evaluation, a method for execution of mixed top-down/bottom-up logic programs and deductive databases. The method is intermediate in power between naive ...
An error cancellation technique is described for suppressing capacitor mismatch in a successive approximation A/D converter. At the cost of a 50% increase in the conversion time, ...
