We consider the problem of processing a given number of tasks on a given number of processors as quickly as possible when only vague information about the processing time of a task...
Constant propagation (CP) is one of the most widely used optimizations in practice (cf. [9]). Intuitively, it addresses the problem of statically detecting whether an expression al...
Parallel disks provide a cost effective way of speeding up I/Os in applications that work with large amounts of data. The main challenge is to achieve as much parallelism as poss...
Abstract. In knowledge bases, the open world assumption and the ability to express variables may lead to an answer redundancy problem. This problem occurs when the returned answers...
Snap-shot mechanisms are used to read a globally consistent set of variable values. Such a mechanism can be used to solve a variety of communication and synchronization problems, ...
