Multiprocessors based on processors with multiple cores usually include a non-uniform memory architecture (NUMA); even current 2-processor systems with 8 cores exhibit non-uniform...
Abstract. Modern description logic (DL) reasoners are known to be less efficient for DLs with inverse roles. The current loss of performance is largely due to the missing applicabi...
Peer-to-peer computing paradigm is emerging as a scalable and robust model for sharing media objects. In this paper, we propose an architecture and describe the associated algorit...
Abstract. We study the management of buffers and storages in environments with unpredictably varying prices in a competitive analysis. In the economical caching problem, there is ...
For multi-criteria problems and problems with poorly characterized objective, it is often desirable to simultaneously approximate the optimum solution for a large class of objecti...
