Abstract. In this paper we study variants of the non-preemptive parallel job scheduling problem where the number of machines is polynomially bounded in the number of jobs. For this...
We propose a new method, called SimClus, for clustering with lower bound on similarity. Instead of accepting k the number of clusters to find, the alternative similarity-based app...

All known algorithms for evaluating advanced XPath queries (e.g., ones with predicates or with closure axes) on XML streams employ buffers to temporarily store fragments of the do...
A nearly logarithmic lower bound on the randomized competitive ratio for the metrical task systems problem is presented. This implies a similar lower bound for the extensively stu...
In this paper, we study a new type of spatial query, Nearest Surrounder (NS), which searches the nearest surrounding spatial objects around a query point. NS query can be more use...
