We consider the problem of estimating CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for processing range and k-nearest neighbors queries over metric spaces. Unlike the specific case ...
The uncertainty may be divides it into two major groups, "objective uncertainty" and "subjective uncertainty". The objective uncertainty has already been exten...
Abstract—Service requests are the origin of every service provisioning process and therefore the entities to be considered first. Similar to Physics and Engineering Sciences, ser...
For a successful information systems architecture management, reference models and decision rules must be provided. In this paper, an architecture model and design rules are propo...
In order to reduce the cost, the time-to-market and to make the most pertinent choices, it becomes essential to allow designers to evaluate, very soon in the design phase, a given...
