The state of the art commercial query optimizers employ cost-based optimization and exploit dynamic programming (DP) to find the optimal query execution plan (QEP) without evalua...
— BLAST is a very popular Computational Biology algorithm. Since it is computationally expensive it is a natural target for acceleration research, and many reconfigurable archite...
—Data delivery is a major function of sensor network applications. Many applications, such as military surveillance, require the detection of interested events to be reported to ...
—A significant fraction of network events (such as topology or route changes) and the resulting performance degradation stem from premeditated network management and operational...
We propose a generic method for obtaining quickly good upper bounds on the minimal value of a multistage stochastic program. The method is based on the simulation of a feasible dec...
