Recently-developed techniques have improved the performance of production systems several times over. However, these techniques are not yet adequate for continuous problem solving...
Disk I/O is a major bottleneck for query processing in database applications. This bottleneck is especially a problem for temporal databases because of their large size. Reduction...
We introduce in this paper new communication and synchronization constructs which allow deterministic processes, communicating asynchronously via unbounded FIFO bu ers, to cope wi...
