Locking and timestamping are two popular approaches to concurrency control in databases systems. Although more than a dozen analytic performance studies of locking techniques have...
Data consistency in transactional federations is a key requirement of advanced E-service applications on the Internet, such as electronic auctions or real-estate purchase. Federat...
The RNA editing process in protozoan parasites is controlled by small RNA molecules known as guide RNAs (gRNAs). The gRNA database is a comprehensive compilation of published guid...
This paper examines the problem of database organization and retrieval based on computing metric pairwise distances. A low-dimensional Euclidean approximation of a high-dimensiona...
