Database columns are often correlated, so that cardinality estimates computed by assuming independence often lead to a poor choice of query plan by the optimizer. Multidimensional...

Efficiently using the hardware capabilities of the Cell processor, a heterogeneous chip multiprocessor that uses several levels of parallelism to deliver high performance, and bei...

We present a technique for synthesizing power- as well as area-optimized circuits from hierarchical data flow graphs under throughput constraints. We allow for the use of complex...
Motivated by parallel optimization, we experiment EDA-like adaptation-rules in the case of λ large. The rule we use, essentially based on estimation of multivariate normal algorit...
Adaptive Memetic Algorithms couple an evolutionary algorithm with a number of local search heuristics for improving the evolving solutions. They are part of a broad family of meta...
