Fast query processing of complex objects, e.g. spatial or uncertain objects, depends on efficient spatial pruning of the objects’ approximations, which are typically minimum bou...
An increasing number of applications operate on data obtained from the Web. These applications typically maintain local copies of the web data to avoid network latency in data acc...
Existing index selection tools rely on heuristics to efficiently search within the large space of alternative solutions and to minimize the overhead of using the query optimizer ...
In this paper we present a model of functional access to data that, we argue, is suitable for modeling a class of data repositories characterized by functional access, such as web ...
As VLSI technology reaches 45nm technology node, leakage power optimization has become a major design challenge. Threshold voltage (vt) assignment has been extensively studied, du...
