We study single machine scheduling problems, where processing times of the jobs are exponential functions of their start times. For increasing functions, we prove strong NP-hardnes...
This paper presents a Grid environment developed for analysis of MRI brain data on global Grids. In the current experiment, the MRI data analysis tasks are composed and formulated...

Interactive configurators are decision support systems assisting users in selecting values for parameters that respect given constraints. The underlying knowledge can be convenien...
We investigate the problem of incremental maintenance of an SQL view in the face of database updates, and show that it is possible to reduce the total time cost of view maintenanc...
VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...
