Abstract. The similarity join has become an important database primitive to support similarity search and data mining. A similarity join combines two sets of complex objects such t...
The need for sharing is well known in a large number of distributed collaborative applications. These applications are difficult to develop for wide area (possibly mobile) networ...
This paper proposes an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) aiming at addressing globally multimodal problems, i.e., problems that present several global optima. It can be r...
Abstract. Finite volume numerical methods have been widely studied, implemented and parallelized on multiprocessor systems or on clusters. Modern graphics processing units (GPU) pr...
Solid State Drive (SSD), emerging as new data storage media with high random read speed, has been widely used in laptops, desktops, and data servers to replace hard disk during th...
