The fast growth of multimedia information in image and video databases has triggered research on efficient retrieval methods. This paper deals with structural queries, a type of c...
In distributed constraint optimization problems, dynamic programming methods have been recently proposed (e.g. DPOP). In dynamic programming many valuations are grouped together i...
The problem of dividing a sequence of values into segments occurs in database systems, information retrieval, and knowledge management. The challenge is to select a finite number ...
Multicore processors are an architectural paradigm shift that promises a dramatic increase in performance. But, they also bring an unprecedented level of complexity in algorithmic ...
