Abstract. According to the No Free Lunch (NFL) theorems all blackbox algorithms perform equally well when compared over the entire set of optimization problems. An important proble...
A top-N selection query against a relation is to find the N tuples that satisfy the query condition the best but not necessarily completely. In this paper, we propose a new method ...
This paper describes an experimental study of Linux kernel behavior in the presence of errors that impact the instruction stream of the kernel code. Extensive error injection exper...

We present a perceptually designed hardwareaccelerated algorithm for generating unique background textures for distinguishing documents. To be recognizable, the texture should pro...
—Efficient server selection algorithms reduce retrieval time for objects replicated on different servers and are an important component of Internet cache architectures. This pap...
