Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
A population of virtual robots is evolved to perform the task of competitively painting the floor of a toroidal room. Two robots are present in any given room and paint using dis...

Estimating the number of distinct values is a wellstudied problem, due to its frequent occurrence in queries and its importance in selecting good query plans. Previous work has sh...
In this article, we show several results obtained by combining the use of stable distributions with pseudorandom generators for bounded space. In particular: —We show that, for a...
In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of a wide-area cluster system based on a rewallenabled Globus metacomputing toolkit. In order to establish communication links ...
