We address the problem of minimizing power consumption in behavioral synthesis of data-dominated circuits. The complex nature of power as a cost function implies that the effects ...
Previous studies have shown that object-oriented programs have different execution characteristics than procedural programs, and that special object-oriented hardware can improve p...
We present a “black-box” approach to estimating query cardinality that has no knowledge of query execution plans and data distribution, yet provides accurate estimates. It doe...
A new graph-based evolutionary algorithm named “Genetic Network Programming, GNP” has been proposed. GNP represents its solutions as directed graph structures, which can improv...
There is currently great interest in building information mediators that can integrate informationfrom multipledata sources such as databases or Web sources. The query response ti...
