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...
A general method to design optimal redundant sensor network even in the case of one sensor failure and able to estimate process key parameters within a required accuracy is propos...
We consider the problem of maximizing the reliability of a series-parallel system given cost and weight constraints on the system. The number of components in each subsystem and th...
In this paper, an efficient algorithm to implement loop partitioning is introduced and evaluated. We start from results of Agarwal et al. [1] whose aim is to minimize the number of...
Distributed and parallel computing environments are becoming cheap and commonplace. The availability of large numbers of CPU's makes it possible to process more data at highe...
