For object-oriented databases we propose a new technique for optimizing queries containing method invocations. This technique is based on the definition of inverse methods and que...
Abstract—This paper addresses the problem of execution time estimation for tasks in a software pipeline independent of the application structure or the underlying architecture. A...
In many distributed computing paradigms, especially sensor networks and ubiquitous computing but also grid computing and web services, programmers commonly tie their application to...

In this paper a fast method of selecting a neural network architecture for pattern recognition tasks is presented. We demonstrate that our proposed method of selecting both input ...
Existing task allocation algorithms generally do not consider the effects of task interaction, such as interference, but instead assume that tasks are independent. That assumptio...
