Abstract. The development of scalable parallel database systems requires the design of efficient algorithms for the join operation which is the most frequent and expensive operatio...
The amount of data exponentially increases in information systems and it becomes more and more difficult to extract the most relevant information within a very short time. Among ot...
: The object abstraction has long proven to be an effective foundation upon which to structure application codes; however, its application to Grid Computing contains many challenge...
Large-scale scientific computing applications frequently make use of closely-coupled distributed parallel components. The performance of such scientific applications is therefore ...

We address the problem of optimally controlling stochastic environments that are partially observable. The standard method for tackling such problems is to define and solve a Part...
