In the nanometer IC design, dummy fill is often performed to improve layout pattern uniformity and the post-CMP quality. However, filling dummies might greatly increase intercon...
Materialized views (MV) can significantly improve the query performance of relational databases. In this paper, we consider MVs to optimize complex scenarios where many heterogen...

Many multimedia applications rely on the computation of logarithms, for example, when estimating log-likelihoods for Gaussian Mixture Models. Knowing of the demand to compute loga...
In this paper, we present an algorithm to simultaneously align three biological sequences with affine gap model and infer their common ancestral sequence. Our algorithm can be fu...
It is a common understanding that identifying the same entity such as module, file, and function between revisions is important for software evolution related analysis. Most softw...
