We give a graph decomposition technique that creates entirely independent subproblems for graph problems such as coloring and dominating sets that can be solved without synchroniz...
We describe a language which can be used to model business processes (both technical and nontechnical). It has a formal semantics, so as to enable formal analysis and prediction o...
In many database applications, there are opportunities for multiple top-N queries to be evaluated at the same time. Often it is more cost effective to evaluate multiple such queri...
Progress in science and engineering relies on the ability to measure, reliably and in detail, pertinent properties of artifacts under design. Progress in the area of database-inde...
Multiprocessors are now commonplace, and cloud computing is swiftly following suit. While it is possible to write high performance code for these systems, concurrency bugs are ext...
