This paper presents research on the application of the means-end chain (MEC) framework for investigating customers cognitive structure regarding community applications. It is argu...
A join of two relations in real databases is usually much smaller than their cartesian product. This means that most of the combinations of tuples in the crossproduct of the respe...
Synchronization primitives for large shared-memory multiprocessors need to minimize latency and contention. Software queue-based locks address these goals, but suffer if a process...

We consider principal component analysis (PCA) in decomposable Gaussian graphical models. We exploit the prior information in these models in order to distribute its computation. ...
Improvements in optical technology will enable the constructionof high bandwidth, low latencyswitching networks. These networks have many applications in massively parallel proces...
