In a probabilistic cellular automaton (PCA), the cells are updated synchronously and independently, according to a distribution depending on a finite neighborhood. A PCA can be vi...
The ability to provide accurate and efficient result estimations of user queries is very important for the query optimizer in database systems. In this paper, we show that the tra...
Abstract. The purpose of this paper is (1) to provide a theoretical justification for the use of Monte-Carlo sampling for approximate resolution of NP-hard maximization problems in...
Background: The post-genomic era is characterised by a torrent of biological information flooding the public databases. As a direct consequence, similarity searches starting with ...
