Correct handling of concurrently accessed external resources is a demanding problem in programming. The standard approaches rely on database transactions or concurrency mechanisms...
Over the last decade the cost of producing genomic sequences has dropped dramatically due to the current so called “next-gen” sequencing methods. However, these next-gen seque...
We address the problem of making online, parallel query plans fault-tolerant: i.e., provide intra-query fault-tolerance without blocking. We develop an approach that not only achi...
Intelligent access to information requires semantic integration of structured databases with unstructured textual resources. While the semantic integration problem has been widely...
In this paper we propose an integrated knowledge management system in which terminology-based knowledge acquisition, knowledge integration, and XML-based knowledge retrieval are c...
