This paper identifies node affinity as an important property for scalable general-purpose locks. Nonuniform communication architectures (NUCAs), for example CCNUMAs built from a f...
We introduce a novel spatial join operator, the ring-constrained join (RCJ). Given two sets P and Q of spatial points, the result of RCJ consists of pairs p, q (where p P, q Q) ...
Many scientific, imaging, and geospatial applications produce large high-precision scalar fields sampled on a regular grid. Lossless compression of such data is commonly done usin...
Co-authorship networks, an important type of social networks, have been studied extensively from various angles such as degree distribution analysis, social community extraction a...
— The nature of Grid and distributed computing implies communication between heterogeneous systems over a wide and ever-changing variety of network environments. Often large amou...
