An additive spanner of an unweighted undirected graph G with distortion d is a subgraph H such that for any two vertices u, v ∈ G, we have δH(u, v) ≤ δG(u, v) + d. For every...
This paper is concerned with reducing communication costs when executing distributed user tasks in a sensor network. We take a service-oriented abstraction of sensor networks, whe...
The MPI standard provides tool builders with an efficient profiling interface, PMPI. Although many tools have successfully used this interface, it has three major drawbacks: a n...
Background: TATA box is one of the most important transcription factor binding sites. But the exact sequences of TATA box are still not very clear. Results: In this study, we cond...
