We address performance issues associated with simulationbased algorithms for optimizing Markov reward processes. Specifically, we are concerned with algorithms that exploit the re...
Gossip algorithms have recently received significant attention, mainly because they constitute simple and robust message-passing schemes for distributed information processing over...
When the environmental conditions are stable, a typical Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) application may sense and process very similar or constant data values for long durations. Thi...
The MPI Standard supports derived datatypes, which allow users to describe noncontiguous memory layout and communicate noncontiguous data with a single communication function. Thi...

In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...
