In the last decades enormous advances have been made possible for modelling complex (physical) systems by mathematical equations and computer algorithms. To deal with very long run...
We present a taxonomy for local distance functions where most existing algorithms can be regarded as approximations of the geodesic distance defined by a metric tensor. We categor...
The paper proposes an extension of CFDs [1], referred to as extended Conditional Functional Dependencies (eCFDs). In contrast to CFDs, eCFDs specify patterns of semantically relate...
Conjunctive query (CQ) evaluation on relational databases is NP-complete in general. Several restrictions, like bounded tree-width and bounded hypertree-width, allow polynomial ti...
BLASTn is a tool universally used by biologists to identify similarities between nucleotide based biological genome sequences. This report describes an FPGA based hardware impleme...
