Abstract. Phylogeny reconstruction from molecular data poses complex optimization problems: almost all optimization models are NP-hard and thus computationally intractable. Yet app...
Most modern DBMS optimizers rely upon a cost model to choose the best query execution plan (QEP) for any given query. Cost estimates are heavily dependent upon the optimizer’s e...

This paper explores defects found in a high volume microprocessor when shipping at a low defect level. A brief description of the manufacturing flow along with definition of DPM i...
The Enhanced Pay-Per-View (EPPV) model for providing continuous-media services associates with each continuous-media clip a display frequency that depends on the clip's popula...
The surface growing framework presented by Besl and Jain [2] has served as the basis for many range segmentation techniques. It has been augmented with alternative fitting techni...
