A research prototype is presented for semantic indexing and retrieval in Information Retrieval. The prototype is motivated by a desire to provide a more efficient and effective in...
Efficient processing of aggregation queries is essential for decision support applications. This paper describes a class of query transformations, called eager aggregation and lat...
Recently-proposed architectures that continuously operate on atomic blocks of instructions (also called chunks) can boost the programmability and performance of shared-memory mult...
Open nesting provides a loophole in the strict model of atomic transactions. Moss and Hosking suggested adapting open nesting for transactional memory, and Moss and a group at Sta...
Due to the large number of attacks on open networks, information theft becomes a more and more severe problem. Secure computation can offer highly assured confidentiality protecti...
