Suppose we have a parallel or distributed system whose nodes have limited capacities, such as processing speed, bandwidth, memory, or disk space. How does the performance of the s...
Naive parallel implementation of nondeterministic systems (such as a theorem proving system) and languages (such as a logic, constraint, or a concurrent constraint language)can re...
Data parallel programs are sensitive to the distribution of data across processor nodes. We formulate the reduction of inter-node communication as an optimization on a colored gra...
Immersive, interactive applications grouped under the concept of Immersipresence require on-line processing and mixing of multimedia data streams and structures. One critical issu...
The problem of question/answering (Q/A) is to find answers to open-domain questions by searching large collections of documents. Unlike information retrieval systems, very common ...
