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...
This work focuses on several optimization problems involved in recovery of sparse solutions of linear inverse problems. Such problems appear in many fields including image and sig...
This paper presents a query optimizer module based on cost estimation that chooses the best filtering step algorithm to perform a specific spatial join operation. A set of express...
In this paper, a novel automatic approach for the concurrent topology and routing optimization that achieves a high quality network layout is proposed. This optimization is based ...
We study a class of overrelaxed bound optimization algorithms, and their relationship to standard bound optimizers, such as ExpectationMaximization, Iterative Scaling, CCCP and No...
