—Large scale production grids are a major case for autonomic computing. Following the classical definition of Kephart, an autonomic computing system should optimize its own beha...
Current federated systems deploy cost-based query optimization mechanisms; i.e., the optimizer selects a global query plan with the lowest cost to execute. Thus, cost functions in...

Several techniques that compute the join between two spatial datasets have been proposed during the last decade. Among these methods, some consider existing indices for the joined...
The impact of learning on evolution in dynamic environments undergoes recognized stages of the Baldwin Effect although its cause is not clear. To identify it experimentally, we de...
High performance computing on parallel architectures currently uses different approaches depending on the hardory model of the architecture, the abstraction level of the programmi...
