The query optimizer of a database system is confronted with two aspects when handling user-defined functions (UDFs) in query predicates: the vast differences in evaluation costs b...
In hardware design, it is necessary to simulate the anticipated behavior of the integrated circuit before it is actually cast in silicon. As simulation procedures are long due to ...
We examine the problem of producing the optimal evaluation order for queries containing joins, selections, and maps. Specifically, we look at the case where common subexpressions i...
In this paper, we consider the problem of nding llpreserving ordering of a sparse symmetric and positive de nite matrix such that the reordered matrix is suitable for parallel fac...
We propose a novel framework for imposing label ordering constraints in multilabel optimization. In particular, label jumps can be penalized differently depending on the jump dire...
