— Batteries are non-ideal energy sources – minimizing the energy consumption of a battery-powered system is not equivalent to maximizing its battery life. We propose an alterna...
Abstract--The multimode resource-constrained projectscheduling problem with discounted cash flows (MRCPSPDCF) is important and challenging for project management. As the problem is...

We study the problem of query optimization in federated relational database systems. The nature of federated databases explicitly decouples many aspects of the optimization proces...
This paper presents a hardware-based dynamic optimizer that continuously optimizes an application’s instruction stream. In continuous optimization, dataflow optimizations are p...
